Answer 1

During the Siege of Petersburg, General Grant had twice as many soldiers as Lee. This significant advantage in troop numbers was a crucial factor during the prolonged engagement, which lasted from June 1864 to March 1865. Grant's strategy involved a series of assaults aimed at wearing down Confederate forces and cutting off their supply lines, ultimately leading to the fall of Petersburg and Richmond.
