OverviewGeneral U. S. Grant solemnly reported to Washington his view of Southern army conditions at the end of May 1864: Lee's army is really whipped. The prisoners we have show it, and the actions of the army shows it unmistakably. I may be mistaken, but I feel that our success over Lee's army is already insured. He was mistaken. Unfortunately for the Union soldier the cost became exceedingly high. The slaughter of men in blue continues in early June in small and large clashes including Cold Harbor and Petersburg. Grant's army lost more men during this time than General R. E. Lee had in the Army of Northern Virginia. Meanwhile, Lee sends General Jubal Early into the Shenandoah Valley to stop the Federal war against civilians. In the process Early reaches the fortifications of Washington City. However, by year's end most of Lee's soldiers line fortifications from above Richmond to below Petersburg.
