Best Answer

The Siege of Petersburg was important because it displayed the value of excellent fortifications. The Confederate entrenchments were able to prevent the Federals from capturing Petersburg and cutting Richmond off from the vital supplies it needed. When the siege was finally ended after nine months of Union operations to take the city, it signaled that the US Civil War was only days from its end.
