The Battle of the Wilderness took place from May 5 to May 7, 1864, during the American Civil War, as part of Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign against Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army. The battle was characterized by dense underbrush and limited visibility, leading to fierce hand-to-hand combat and significant casualties on both sides. Despite the high losses, Grant continued his advance towards Richmond, marking a shift in Union strategy to pursue the Confederate forces relentlessly. The battle resulted in no clear victory, but it demonstrated Grant's determination to engage Lee's army directly.
