The Confederate states defended Petersburg fiercely due to its strategic significance as a major supply center and transportation hub for the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. Its railroads and roads were crucial for moving troops and supplies, making it vital for sustaining the Confederate war effort. Additionally, the fall of Petersburg would likely lead to the fall of Richmond, further motivating the Confederates to mount a determined defense against Union forces. The prolonged siege underscored the city's importance in the broader context of the Civil War.
