After the Confederates surrendered Grant let them return home in peace #goodman

[22nd New York @22nd_NewYork]

After the surrender, Grant even fed the hungry Confederate soldiers. #FeelingGuilty

On April 9, 1865, Lee and Grant met to arrange the surrender at Appomattox Court House. #TimeToGiveUp

At Petersburg the Union forces dug trenches and stayed for a nine-month-long siege. #IsItOverWithYet

[22nd New York @22nd_NewYork]

At Cold Harbor, Grant suffered 7,000 casualties. #RunningOutOfReplacements

[22nd New York @22nd_NewYork]

At the Battle of the Wilderness, the soldiers could barely see each other. #WhereDidTheyGo

[22nd New York @22nd_NewYork]

Grant thought the Union armies could replace fallen soldiers, but the South was running out of men and supplies #INeedMoreReplacements

[22nd New York @22nd_NewYork]

It took over a year for Grant to defeat Lee because Lee had a good strategy

[22nd New York @22nd_NewYork]

Gran't plan was to keep attacking Lee despite the number of casualties that the Union forces might suffer. #ForgetCasualties

Shooting people while they are down #notverynice
