Battle of the Wilderness May 1864 Intense fighting mostly in wooded areas So intense it set the wooded areas on fire Many of the wounded burned to death Thick smoke led to many instances of friendly fire

Battle of the Wilderness Grant’s forces took tremendous losses But he refused to retreat like previous Union generals He moved his army around the Confederates and continued heading South

What did the Battle of the Wilderness reveal about Grant’s strategy? Under Grant’s leadership, troops would not retreat quickly The Union Army would be more aggressive but be criticized for the tremendous loss of life

What were the terms of General Lee’s surrender to General Grant? Appomattox Court House, Virginia April 1865 Southern soldiers could take their horses and mules and go home The would not be considered traitors as long as they obeyed the laws where the lived Grant then offered to feed Lee’s army

Guerrilla Soldiers who use surprise raids and hit and run tactics Many of Lee’s commanders suggested this rather than surrendering Lee rejected this, fearing it would lead to more devastation to Virginia

Who was John Wilkes Booth? Actor Southern sympathizer Originally wanted to kidnap Lincoln in exchange for southern prisoners of war Led to unsuccessful attempts

Decided to kill him instead (as well as General Grant and Vice President Johnson) Only able to kill Lincoln, shooting him in the back of the head Lincoln died shortly after
