Petersburg
Before Grant could capture Richmond, he first had to defeat Confederate forces in Petersburg, Virginia. Petersburg was a crucial supply center for the Confederate Army, and its fall would significantly weaken their defenses. By securing Petersburg, Grant aimed to cut off supplies to Richmond, making it easier to launch an assault on the Confederate capital itself. This strategic approach was essential for the Union to gain a decisive advantage in the Civil War.
Before General Ulysses S. Grant could capture Richmond, he had to defeat the Confederates at the Battle of Cold Harbor in June 1864. This battle was part of his Overland Campaign, where he sought to engage and weaken Confederate forces led by General Robert E. Lee. Despite suffering heavy casualties, Grant continued his relentless pressure on Lee's army, ultimately leading to the Siege of Petersburg, which set the stage for the fall of Richmond.
