Why Grant Won The Civil War?

April 2,1865 Grant continued the siege of Petersburg. Lee and his troops defended the town, but sickness, casualties and desertion weakened them. Finally the Confederate line broke and Lee withdrew from defending the town. From the beginning of the horrible war, the Union’s goal was to capture the Confederate capital in Richmond. Petersburg had been the last roadblock in Grant’s path.
After a nine month siege, Grant finally drove Lee’s tired army out of that city. Jefferson knew that Richmond was completely doomed. As the Union army marched toward Richmond, Davis and his cabinet prepared to leave, they gathered important documents and ordered that bridges and weapons useful to the enemy be burned down, and then, they fled the city.
April 9,1865 was the formal end
He married Sarah Knox Taylor, but she died of malaria an illness and he remarried in 1845 to Varina Winnie Howell. Varina and Davis had six children together.
Jefferson had an impressive political career before becoming president of the Confederacy.
He saw the war as a great struggle to protect the rights of the states against encroachment by the federal government. He went to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Jefferson graduated as an army lieutenant in 1828. Jefferson was also the United States and Confederate leader. Also, he was the president of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. Davis believed in slavery, state sovereignty, and the right of secession.
He was chosen president because of his previous success in politics and the military. Davis worked poorly with his cabinet and the government of the Confederate States.
After the Mississippi seceded from the Union, Davis once again resigned his Senate seat. Even before the Civil War, Jefferson appealed to the North to allow the South to secede peacefully, claiming that the states had a legal right to do so under the U.S.
