What was the overall plan that Lieutenant General US Grant envisioned for the Overland campaign in the US Civil War?
As the new Lieutenant General, US Grant's Overland campaign had the following strategy: 1. Grant wanted the Army of the Potomac to advance along the shortest line possible across the disputed territory that separated the Rapidan River from Richmond; 2. The Army of the James River, led by General Benjamin Butler would cooperate with this movement by advancing toward Richmond from the southeast; 3. The goal of Butler was to cut between Richmond and the important rail center at Petersburg which was thirty miles to the south; 4. By doing this Grant calculated that the Army of Northern Virginia could either force Lee to retreat sixty miles to protect Richmond; 5. Or, force Lee to be the target of a pincers movement from the north and the south; 6. If General Meade tied the Confederate army down, General Butler might capture either Richmond or Petersburg; and 7. Anyone of these possibilities could have shortened the war by many months.

How did Lieutenant General US Grant follow the Jomini prescription for dealing with lines of operations?
When Lieutenant General US Grant decided how best to deal with General Robert E. Lee in Virginia, the lines of operation prescription noted by military theorist Henri Johmini came into play. Lines of operation should be interior if the combating forces were equal or inferior to the enemy's , and exterior in the case of great numerical superiority. Grant had superiority over Lee and the exterior lines assault had every historical military chance of being successful. Grant's 118,000 troops in May of 1864, moved against the 64,000 troops of General Lee. Grant had never dealt with a general of Lee's ability and Union losses were heavy and no victory came of it as planned. Grant's concentric plan of attack using Union General Butler against Confederate General PT Beauregard failed as well. Even though Beauregard was caught by surprise and was, out numbered by Butler's 30,000 man force on the Virginia coast.
