Richmond, Virginia
The battle of Cold Harbor was a Confederate victory. However the Federals didn't give up the conquered ground and dug in within a hundred yards from the Rebels' entrenchment, thus strengthening the pressure over the enemy's line. The Union lost 7,000 men dead or wounded, the Confederate losses were less than 1,500.
The Battle of Cold Harbor in early June 1864 was fought over the same territory as the Battle of Gaines Mill in late June 1862. The first battle pitted the Army of Northern Virginia, led by Robert E. Lee and the Army of the Potomac led by General George B. McClellan. The Gaines's Mill battle saw Lee as the leader of the Confederate victory.In the 1864 Cold Harbor battle, it was again Lee vs US Grant and George Meade and their Army of the Potomac. In this conflict soldiers were disconcerted to find in the battle fields skeletons of the first battle of Gaines's Mill. As the 1864 battle unfolded past memories dissolved due to the heavy fighting in the new Cold Harbor. Battle casualties vary, however, on the conservative side, Grant lost 10,000 troops to Lee's losses of about 1,500 troops.
General Lee won his last victory over Union forces, numbering 108,000 against his troops of 59,000. On this day Federal troops lost 7,000 men against 1,500 for the Confederate troops. In an eight-minute period more men fell in an assault on entrenched Confederate troops than in any other like period of time. Between May 7 and June 3, federal losses were 50,000 men, Confederate 32,000. The North could replace its losses fully, but the South could not. US Grant's consistent use of frontal assaults and poor maneuvering cost the Union this battle.
