The Siege of Petersburg t is the Civil War that forever put the Petersburg Area into the history books and left an indelible mark. In essence, the road to Appomattox Court House and the end of the war started in the Petersburg Area. Petersburg’s position as a key economic and transportation center in Virginia made it an obvious target during the course of the war and by 1864 it was the center of the conflict in the East between the two leading generals – Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Union General Ulysses S. Grant.
I
For a month in 1864, Union and Confederate armies clashed, marched, and clashed again. After each encounter, Grant moved farther southward and closer to his goals: the destruction of Lee’s army and the Confederate capital of Richmond. After the Federals suffered a disastrous defeat at Cold Harbor, Grant abandoned plans to capture Richmond by direct assault. Instead, he moved his forces south across the James River and through Prince George County. On June 15, he threw them against Petersburg’s eastern front.
“The key to taking Richmond is Petersburg,” Grant said when his forces arrived at the eastern environs of the Petersburg Area in mid-June 1864. Petersburg’s five railroad lines and key roadways made it an important target. If the Federals cut those transportation routes, Petersburg could no longer provide Richmond and Lee’s army with muchneeded supplies and equipment. Many believed that if Richmond fell, the war would be over.
In a grim nearly 10-month struggle – the longest siege on American soil – Grant’s army gradually but relentlessly isolated Petersburg and cut Lee’s supply lines from the south. The two armies dug elaborate defensive positions from which they fought - sometimes only yards apart. Throughout the siege, Petersburg’s residents endured the danger of shelling and the pain of hunger as supplies slowed to a trickle.

On July 30, 1864, Union forces sought to punch a hole through Confederate defenses by tunneling under Confederate earthworks and exploding 8,000 pounds of gunpowder. The massive explosion at the Battle of the Crater instantly killed at least 278 Confederates and a giant cavity —what has come to be known as the Crater—was opened up in the ground. It was more than 170 feet long, 60 feet across and 30 feet deep. It became an instant death trap when Union soldiers charged into it and were met with a Confederate counterattack. When the violent hand-to-hand battle had ended, an estimated 3,800 Union troops were reported killed, wounded or missing. The Confederates suffered 1,612 casualties. Of all the battles waged in the region, none saw more bloodshed than the Battle of the Crater. Nearly 150 years later, the giant cavity left over from the explosion is still visible on the grounds of Petersburg National Battlefield – Eastern Front Visitor Center, where visitors can explore the earthworks and trenches as soldiers might have seen them and take a look inside a reconstruction of the Union’s secret mine. In late 1864 and early 1865, a series of vicious battles in Dinwiddie County forced Lee to extend his thinly-manned
lines for 37 miles in an arc below Petersburg. As his army crept south and west, Grant slowly gained possession of all the key rail lines except the South Side Railroad. Grant unleashed General Philip H. Sheridan at Five Forks on April 1, 1865. His objective: the South Side Railroad. Sheridan smashed the Confederate forces under General George Pickett during the Battle of Five Forks – in what became known as “The Waterloo of the Confederacy.” On April 2, Grant ordered an all-out assault and Lee’s right flank crumbled at what is now Pamplin Historical Park in Dinwiddie County. A valiant defense at Confederate Fort Gregg slowed the Union advance and spared General Lee from possible street fighting in Petersburg. On the night of April 2, Lee’s army evacuated Petersburg by slipping north across the Appomattox River. Petersburg’s citizens now realized their greatest fears as Federal troops marched in unimpeded and occupied the city. The back door to Richmond had been opened and the Confederate capital quickly fell to Union forces. Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House just one week later. As Grant had predicted, Petersburg had been the key.

Battersea
Located in the 800-acre Dutch Gap Conservation Area, this park is a reconstruction of the 1611 Citie of Henricus, the second successful English settlement in the New World. Henricus was established in 1611 at a site Sir Thomas Dale found on a bluff overlooking one of the most scenic areas of the James River in what is today Chesterfield County. Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan, spent much of her life near Henricus. It was here that tobacco crops were first grown and cultivated for sale in Europe. Costumed interpreters in this 32-acre living history museum transport you back to the days of Pocahontas and the early English settlers. A re-created Arrohateck Indian village demonstrates how native people lived. The Citie Center is a re-creation of the original English fort. 251 Henricus Park Road, Chester, VA 23836; (804) 748-1613; www.henricus.org.

Other Things to Do | African-American History The Petersburg Area of Virginia has an extraordinarily rich African-American heritage that dates from the earliest English settlers in the 1600s to the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. Colonial African-American Histor y
Jim Crow and Civil Rights
In the 1600s, English colonists sailed up the James and Appomattox rivers, and built settlements alongside Native Americans and brought with them their indentured servants and slaves as laborers. In the 1700s, more enslaved Africans entered Virginia at Bermuda Hundred, in today’s Chesterfield County, than at any other place in Virginia. By 1860 Petersburg had one of the largest free African-American populations of any Virginia city, and proportionally, one of the largest in the nation.
Civil War and Reconstruction
The conservative Democratic political machine that arose to rid Virginia of African-American political influence lasted for eight decades and established the pattern of Jim Crow segregation laws in Virginia. Its power was finally broken and Jim Crow was ended by the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited the area repeatedly, culminating in a major speech at Virginia State University on July 2, 1965.
Historic Sites and Tours Pleasantville School During the Civil War, African-Americans both built the Confederate fortifications that protected Petersburg and distinguished themselves in attacking those fortifications with the Union Army as U.S. Colored Troops. AfricanAmerican troops captured City Point from which Union General Grant directed the Siege of Petersburg. In the 1880s, free blacks in the Petersburg Area aligned themselves with former Confederate General Billy Mahone, who helped found Virginia’s first public college for AfricanAmericans, The Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, now known as Virginia State University, located in the village of Ettrick in Chesterfield County.
This school, located in the Winterpock section of Chesterfield County, was one of the first public schools for African Americans in the county. It now serves as a community center for a local church but tours can be arranged by appointment through the Chesterfield County Historical Society of Virginia. (804) 796-7121.
