Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Lincoln was watching the battlefield. In a best-case scenario, his general in chief, Ulysses S. Grant, would trap Confederate general Robert E. Lee and his army inside Petersburg, forcing their surrender. The four-year-old American Civil War would be over, and the United States would be divided no more. #2 Lincoln was planning on offering Lee the most lenient surrender terms possible. He knew that the most important thing was to defeat Lee and his army, and he wanted to make sure Grant did that. #3 Lincoln’s dream was so vivid and painful that when he told his wife and friends about it, the description shocked them beyond words. The dream finally ended as day broke. #4 The standoff began last June, when Grant abruptly abandoned the battlefield at Cold Harbor and wheeled toward Petersburg. In what would go down as one of history’s greatest acts of stealth and logistics, Grant withdrew 115,000 men from their breastworks under cover of darkness and marched them south, crossed the James River without a single loss of life, and then pressed due west to Petersburg.
