SGT (Join to see) "Although the Union suffered severe losses during the campaign, it was a strategic victory for Grant. The battles inflicted proportionately higher casualties on Lee's army, driving his forces into a siege at Petersburg and eventually leading him to surrender his forces at Appomattox in April 1865."
How it ended;
Inconclusive. The battle took place over 12 days and cost 18,000 Union and 12,000 Confederate casualties.
Interesting read Dave... I'm learning things about History that I wouldn't otherwise ... thanks for the post.
