Grant forced the city's surrender following a six-week siege.
The city of Vicksburg was under siege for several weeks in 1863.
Petersburg was a valuable southern link to the Confederate capital of Richmond. In early June of 1864, troops under the command of Lieutenant General US Grant, made large assaults at what he considered to be the weakest links in the Confederate fortifications . On June 16th and 17th, these assaults were turned back by the Confederates. At that point General Lee sent troops to reinforce Petersburg and he himself took charge of the city's defense. After continued assaults, General Grant believed he could not break through the fortifications and decided to place the city under siege, much like he did at Vicksburg. Resigned to the fact that a battle victory was useless, Grant ordered his forces to entrench themselves around the city's fortifications. The siege would last 10 months.
