The Battle of Petersburg, which lasted from June 1864 to April 1865, ended with the Confederate Army's surrender on April 2, 1865. After a prolonged siege and significant Union victories, General Robert E. Lee's forces were unable to withstand the Union's final offensive. The fall of Petersburg led to the evacuation of Richmond, the Confederate capital, and ultimately to Lee's surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. This marked a pivotal moment in the conclusion of the American Civil War.
