The Battle of Petersburg, which lasted from June 1864 to April 1865, was a pivotal conflict in the Civil War that ultimately led to the fall of Richmond, the Confederate capital. The prolonged siege drained Confederate resources and morale, forcing General Robert E. Lee to abandon Petersburg and Richmond. This loss significantly weakened the Confederate Army and accelerated the Union's march toward victory, culminating in Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House in April 1865. The battle thus marked a turning point, highlighting the Union's strategic advantage and contributing to the end of the war.
