yeah.

the Confederacy was winning right up until 1863 by using maneuver tactics that the Union couldn't match.

Grant was going to charge right at them over and over again. When it settled down to a siege at Petersburg, Grant could use his superior numbers to starve the CSA soldiers virtually into submission.

It's a good thing George Washington didn't try to defend Philadelphia the way Lee did Richmond.
