Robert E. Lee may have admired George Washington because he married Mary Anne Randolph while stationed at Fort Monroe, who was the step-great granddaughter of Washington (great granddaughter of Martha Washington).
Fort Washington and Fort Lee were two American fortifications located on opposite sides of the Hudson River in New York during the Revolutionary War. In November 1776, British forces attacked and captured Fort Washington, leading to the surrender of its garrison. Fort Lee, which was intended to support Fort Washington, was subsequently abandoned by American troops to avoid encirclement. The fall of these forts marked a significant setback for the Continental Army in the New York campaign.
Grant decided not to return to Washington but to instead continue attacking Lee after the Battle of the Wilderness because the battle made him realize that Lee had very few reserves. He knew that if he continued to attack every day, he would eventually the Confederates down.

In August 1862, Union General Halleck's alternate plan to defeat Lee's Confederate troops was to advance on Lee from two directions, Washington and the peninsula. The combined armies might have been able to knock out Lee's forces, however, he didn't give them enough time to regroup.
