American Civil War, Battle of Cold Harbor, 1864

The Battle of Cold Harbor was fought from May 31 to June 12, 1864, with the most significant fighting occurring on June 3. It was one of the final battles of Union General Grant's Overland Campaign during the American Civil War, and is remembered as one of American history's bloodiest, most lopsided battles. Thousands of Union soldiers were killed or wounded in a hopeless frontal assault against the fortified positions of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's army. The Overland Campaign was a series of battles fought in Virginia during May and June 1864, in the American Civil War. General Ulysses S. Grant, general-in-chief of all Union armies, directed the actions of the Army of the Potomac, commanded by General Meade, and other forces against Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Although Grant suffered severe losses during the campaign, it was a strategic Union victory. It inflicted proportionately higher losses on Lee's army and maneuvered it into a siege at Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia, in just over eight weeks.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: La batalla de Cold Harbor se libró del 31 de mayo al 12 de junio de 1864, y los combates más importantes tuvieron lugar el 3 de junio. Fue una de las batallas finales de la campaña terrestre del general de la Unión Grant durante la Guerra Civil estadounidense, y se recuerda como una de las batallas más sangrientas y desiguales de la historia estadounidense. Miles de soldados de la Unión murieron o resultaron heridos en un asalto frontal desesperado contra las posiciones fortificadas del ejército del general confederado Robert E. Lee. La Campaña Overland fue una serie de batallas libradas en Virginia durante mayo y junio de 1864, en la Guerra Civil Estadounidense. El general Ulysses S. Grant, general en jefe de todos los ejércitos de la Unión, dirigió las acciones del Ejército del Potomac, comandado por el general Meade, y otras fuerzas contra el ejército del norte de Virginia del general confederado Robert E. Lee. Aunque Grant sufrió graves pérdidas durante la campaña, fue una victoria estratégica de la Unión. Infligió pérdidas proporcionalmente mayores al ejército de Lee y lo maniobró para sitiar Richmond y Petersburgo, Virginia, en poco más de ocho semanas.
