I think you mean the Overland Campaign - of which the Wilderness was the first big battle.

The other two were Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor, before they settled in for the long siege of Petersburg, which cost so many casualties that Lincoln wrote in his diary that he expected to lose the 1864 General Election.

2,246 Union soldiers died in that battle. The Confederates lost 1,495 soldiers.

NEW RESPONDENT

For the first time from the outbreak of Civil War, the Army of Potomac, after having sustained a setback or, better said in this case, a stalemate, didn't retreat but advanced towards Richmond, forcing Lee's Army to follow in order to prevent of being separated from its Capital City.

By so doing, Grant started a new phase of his strategy based upon the "Strategic Intimidation", by which eventually managed to deprive Lee of his "freedom of movements" and indissolubly pinned him down to the Richmond defense.

Also Lee was a master in developing the same strategy and he made a good use of that sending the II Corp of his Army, under Gen. Early, to the Shenandoah Valley with the goals of get rid of the Union Forces there and then menace Washington. By that mean he gave several troubles to Grant during his Overland Campaign, succeeding (partly) in delaying the final act of the campaign until Sheridan destroyed the Confederate forces in the Valley, joining then the Army of Potomac.

Of course, the final outcome was mainly possible thanks to the Union Army's great superiority in number and means

The Battle of the Wilderness occured on May 5-7, 1864. Therefore it lasted 2 days.

Poor wretches, suffocated by the burning undergrowth, and unable to use their field-guns in dense forest.

Yet their morale was not shaken. When Grant ordered them to continue advancing, they set up a big cheer.

Incidentally, the Wilderness was a battle, not a campaign.

The campaign was the Overland Campaign, a bad mixture of failed assaults and long, soul-destroying months of siege.

The only cheerful aspect was the general war situation, tilting in favour of the Union. Grant had ended the system of prisoner-exchange, so the Confederates were doomed to run out of manpower. And Lee was pinned down in a war of attrition that he could never win.

It was Grant's first test as General-in-Chief, and it marked the start of his war of attrition - ending all prisoner-exchanges, keeping Lee on the defensive, and just letting the Confederates slowly run out of manpower while he battered away at their lines till they grew too thin to hold.

In Spring ( May) 1864.

The victor of the battle was inconclusive and Ulysses kept up his offensive, though.

in other words it was a draw and the said the CSA won but then they said the Union had a strategic victory

the battle of the wilderness was undecisive, or there was no winner.

I don't think anyone knows the exact time it occurred at, but they do know a few things:

The date: April 6-7, 1862

The location: Hardin County, Tennessee

The result of the war: Union victory

It started because General Ulysses S. Grant wanted to plan a surprise attack on the Confederate soldiers. The Confederates send Calvary men to spy on the Unions while they were resting in the wilderness. So THEY decided to plan a surprise attack on the UNIONS! No one won the battle.

1 billion for the south and 4 billion for the north

Fort Donelson was invested on February 12,1862 by Grant's Union Army of The

Tennessee, which had been deployed in a semicircle going from Hickmans Creek (north) up to about some 400-500 meters before the bank of the River Cumberland (south).

The Battle began with its bombardment by Commodore Foote's Federal gunboats on February 14,1862, attempting to subdue the place only by means of their guns. The Union vessels were decisively repulsed.

When the battle of the wilderness was over an estimated amount of 17 million men died for grant and 15.9 million for General Lee

Hope this helps

by the way i lied this is wrong lol u fcking retards

Because it was the first shot in Grant's Overland campaign - and the first time that Lee was facing a General of his own calibre.

However, the question asserts something that is not correct. The Battle of the Wilderness was by no means the end of the Confederacy, nor were Lee's victories at an end. Although the Battle of the Wilderness ended inconclusively, the Union forces suffered horrifying casualties (18,000 in 3 days). The next battle, around Spotsylvania, was a Confederate victory. Lee's forces were badly outnumbered but drove back Grant's Army and again drew stunning casualties. A few weeks later, Grant attacked Lee's forces at Cold Harbor and again suffered staggering losses while being driven back. However, Lee's forces were very badly depleted by these three battles and replacements were not possible. Lee was never again able to have a decisive victory over Grant's forces.

Spotsylvania and Coldharbour.

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, there is no grave. Kunte Kinte was a fictional character in Alex Haley's novel "Roots", later made into a TV mini series.

YOU ARE MISTAKEN. KUNTA KINTE WAS NOT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER. HE WAS THE GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER OF ALEX HALEY. HIS STORY WAS TOLD THROUGH GENERATIONS. AS AN ADULT ALEX HALEY SOUGHT OUT HIS FAMILY IN AFRICA AND CONFIRMED THE STORIES HE HAD GROWN UP HEARING. LATER. MUCH CONTROVERSY SURROUNDED THE FACTS OF THAT VISIT AS WELL AS SOME KEY POINTS OF THE STORY. AS FOR THE LOCATION OF THE GRAVE IT IS AN UNMARKED GRAVE ASSUMED TO BE IN THE SLAVE CEMETERY ON THE GROUNDS OF THE FORMER MURRAY PLANTATION. THE SCENE IN THE MOVIE WHERE KIZZY CROSSES OUT THE NAME TOBY WAS WRITTEN SOLELY FOR THE MOVIE AND DID NOT ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

Yes Kunta Kinte was real & yes he is buried in Spotsylvania, Virginia. I actually live about five minutes away from the plantation he lived on & the field he is buried in on what is now Wallers Rd in Partlow, VA.

Ask the Wallers whose ancestors owned a 5,000 acre plantation where Kunta Kinte lived. I would like to know if he has an actual grave site. The original plantation house still exists at the end of Wallers Road.

Kunte Kinte's grave is located at what is now Loriella Park in Spotsylvania Virginia. In the back of the park there is a frisbee golf course, and off in the woods by the second hole there is an old slave cemetery. It is not specifically marked as the grave of Kunta Kinte...but it is widely regarded by locals of the area to be the location of his grave.

Research has shown that Kunta Kinte was not the slave Toby owned by the Wallers. Toby was owned by William Waller before 1767 when Kunta was supposed to have arrived. It is probable he was a slave named Hopping George.

Thanks to the superiority in numbers, equipment and power to replace the casualties, he would made a constant use of the strategic intimidation, threatening Richmond as false purpose, keeping the tactical and strategic initiative, thus depriving Lee of his freedom of movements, wearing down the Confederate Army.

The opening move in Grant's Overland Campaign (May 1864).

The battle was won by the Confederates. But Grant continued to press Lee into a corner, where he would have to stand siege.
