The Battle of the Wilderness, fought from May 5 to May 7, 1864, during the American Civil War, ended inconclusively, but it is generally considered a tactical victory for the Confederacy, as they successfully halted the Union advance. However, Union General Ulysses S. Grant continued his campaign, ultimately leading to the Siege of Petersburg. The battle was characterized by intense fighting and heavy casualties on both sides.
