Lee faced a new adversary:Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. Named commander of all Union armies inMarch, Grant quickly went on the offensive against Lee in Virginia. On May 4 Grant's army struck hard across the Rapidan River into north central Virginia,with Lee's army contesting every mile. They fought for forty days until,finally, the Union army crossed the James River and began the siege ofPetersburg.The campaign cost ninety thousand men-the largest loss thewar had seen. While Grant lost nearly twice as many men as Lee did, he couldreplace them. Lee could not and would never again mount another majoroffensive.
