It took General Grant nearly two years to take Richmond after being given control of the eastern armies in the late summer of 1863. Grant's forces faced tremendous costs and setbacks in the journey of only about 150 miles from the Potomac to Richmond. This series of horrible, costly, slow-moving battles set an example for World War I, with trench warfare, long-range artillery, set battle lines, mass casualties, and more.

What was the purpose of the Union siege of Petersburg?
In order to capture the Confederate capital city of Richmond, Grant wanted to cut the railway supply line that ran from Petersburg Virginia, north to Richmond. So far repeated Union attempts to take Richmond had failed. At least three or more Union tries at this goal were repulsed. Both Richmond & Petersburg we well fortified. Since attacking Petersburg seemed impossible with Confederate General Lee commanding the defence of both cities, Grant decided to lay siege to Petersburg in order to hope for a surrender. Almost 10 months passed before the siege succeeded. Because of the length of the siege, Lee had no choice but to withdraw from both Richmond & Petersburg. Grant cut the supply lines to Richmond. With Lee gone Grant;s forces were finally able to take Richmond. Lincoln, who had waited years to have this done, paid a visit to the captured city.
