Battle of Petersburg II
The Second Battle of Petersburg, also known as the Assault on Petersburg, was the major attempt by the Union Army to take Petersburg, Virginia, before the main Confederate Army could reinforce the city. The failure of the Union to defeat the Confederates in these actions resulted in the start of the ten-month Siege of Petersburg.
