<span>The Siege of Petersburg sapped Lee's strength and led directly both to the loss of the confederate capital of Richmond and to Lee's surrender at Appomattox a short time after abandoning his defensive position. Petersburg was the site of the railhead supplying Richmond, so Lee was forced to defend it or abandon his capital. The siege was a significant strategic success because whereas Grant had access to practically unlimited resupply of material and troops, Lee's position only became weaker as the battle dragged on.</span>

Petersburg is really crucial for the victory because it's the main point for the Confederate's supply line.
By winning the war of Petersburg, the union managed to cut off food and ammo supplies for other soldiers in another battlefront which eventually caused the Confederate army to start falling like dominos.

How did wilson try to expand the U.S. army after congress declared war?
Paraphin [41]

Wilson went on to lead what was at the time the largest war-mobilization effort in the country’s history. At first, Wilson asked only for <em>Volunteer Soldiers</em>, but soon realized voluntary enlistment would not raise a sufficient number of troops and signed <em>The Selective Service Act in May 1917. </em>The Selective Service Act required men between 21 and 35 years of age to register for the draft, increasing the size of the army from 200,000 troops to 4 million by the end of the war. One of the infantrymen who volunteered for active duty was future President Harry S. Truman.
