Last Stages of the Anaconda Plan In the summer of 1864, the Union began to carry out the last stages of the Anaconda plan Union General Sherman pushed Confederate troops out of the deep South with his scorched earth policy General Grant made plans to take Richmond, VA

Richmond, VA vs. Washington D.C. In the spring of 1864, Union’s Grant and Confederate’s Lee fought fiercely, mostly in the 90 miles between these two capital cities After a yearlong siege of Virginia, Grant captured and burned Confederate capital of Richmond, VA (March, 1865) The Rebels had little chance of winning: They were running out of food, weapons, ammunition, and medicine for the wounded

Appomattox Courthouse: THE END! After Richmond, VA fell, Robert E. Lee and his soldiers fled to the mountains The Confederates tried one last attack, but were unable to defeat the Union On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia, General Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant
