格蘭特於1865年4月2日攻擊維吉尼亞州的彼得斯堡 (Petersburg)
1865年4月2日星期日的早晨7點,尤利塞斯·格蘭特 (Ulysses
S. Grant) 將軍的軍隊攻擊了位於維吉尼亞州彼得斯堡的南方聯盟
陣線。在午後時分,南方聯盟軍隊已經開始撤退。這場勝利對聯邦政府來說是相當重要的,因為這代表著北方25英里處的南方聯盟首都李其蒙 (Richmond) 也將面臨敗亡。這場勝利也進一步代表內戰即將結束。不過,這場勝利雖然來得很快,但雙方也都有死傷損失。
At approximately 7 a.m. on Sunday, April 2, 1865, Ulysses S. Grant's Union army attacked Confederate lines at Petersburg, Virginia. By mid-afternoon, Confederate troops had begun to evacuate the town. This victory was important for the Union; it ensured the fall of Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, located just 25 miles north of Petersburg, which in turn led to the end of the Civil War. As in most cases with war, this victory did not occur overnight or without loss.
