The 1864 Overland campaign was designed to destroy the Army of Northern Virginia, however, although Grant's assaults in Virginia cost the Union extremely heavy casualties and also created Confederate casualties, there was no decisive and major victories for the Union. Ultimately General Grant used a siege against Petersburg and Richmond. The heavy pressure that General Grant used against the Virginia Confederates, helped General Sherman's Atlanta campaign and his March to the Sea. With Lee outnumbered in Virginia, Grant's operations prevented any Rebel reinforcements to be sent to stop Sherman in the Deep South.
