American Civil War
Thirteen inch mortar Dictator and railroad cars in front of Petersburg, used in the Siege of Petersburg, a nine-month campaign of trench warfare in which Union forces commanded by Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant assaulted Petersburg, Virginia, unsuccessfully and then constructed trench lines that eventually extended over 30 miles (48 km) from the eastern outskirts of Richmond, Virginia, to around the eastern and southern outskirts of Petersburg. Petersburg was crucial to the supply of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lees army and the Confederate capital of Richmond. Numerous raids were conducted and battles fought in attempts to cut off the railroad supply lines through Petersburg to Richmond, and many of these caused the lengthening of the trench lines, overloading dwindling Confederate resources.
