As the <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Petersburg" title="Siege of Petersburg">Richmond–Petersburg campaign</a> (also known as the siege of Petersburg) ended, Lee's army was outnumbered and exhausted from a winter of trench warfare over an approximately 40 mi (64 km) front,<a href="#cite_note-6">[notes 1]</a> numerous battles, disease, hunger and desertion.<a href="#cite_note-7">[6]</a> Grant's well-equipped and well-fed army was growing in strength. On March 29, 1865, the Union Army began an offensive that stretched and broke the Confederate defenses southwest of Petersburg and cut their supply lines to Petersburg and the Confederate capital of <a href="/wiki/Richmond_in_the_American_Civil_War" title="Richmond in the American Civil War">Richmond, Virginia</a>. Union victories at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Five_Forks" title="Battle of Five Forks">Battle of Five Forks</a> on April 1, 1865, and the <a href="/wiki/Third_Battle_of_Petersburg" title="Third Battle of Petersburg">Third Battle of Petersburg</a>, often called the Breakthrough at Petersburg, on April 2, 1865, opened Petersburg and Richmond to imminent capture. Lee ordered the evacuation of Confederate forces from both Petersburg and Richmond on the night of April 2–3 before Grant's army could cut off any escape. Confederate government leaders also fled west from Richmond that night. The Confederates marched west, heading toward <a href="/wiki/Lynchburg,_Virginia" title="Lynchburg, Virginia">Lynchburg, Virginia</a>, as an alternative capital.

During the next week, the Union troops fought a series of battles with Confederate units, cut off or destroyed Confederate supplies and blocked their paths to the south and ultimately to the west. On April 6, 1865, the Confederate Army suffered a significant defeat at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Sailor%27s_Creek" title="Battle of Sailor's Creek">Battle of Sailor's Creek</a>, Virginia, where they lost about 7,700 men killed or captured and an unknown number wounded. Nonetheless, Lee continued to move the remainder of his battered army to the west.

Five Forks was a critical crossroads that led to the remaining Confederate supply lines. Mobile task forces of combined infantry, artillery and cavalry from the Union Army commanded by Major General Philip Sheridan and V Corps commander Major General Gouverneur K. Warren defeated a Confederate Army of Northern Virginia combined task force commanded by Major General George E. Pickett and cavalry corps commander Fitzhugh Lee. The Union Army inflicted over 1,000 casualties on the Confederates and took at least 2,400 prisoners while seizing Five Forks, the key to control of the vital South Side Railroad. Union casualties were 103 killed, 670 wounded, 57 missing for a total of 830.<a href="#cite_note-Greene,_2008,_p._186-196">[183]</a><a href="#cite_note-197">[184]</a><a href="#cite_note-198">[185]</a><a href="#cite_note-199">[186]</a> Because of the approach of V Corp infantry on the night of March 31, Pickett retreated about 6 miles (9.7 km) to a modestly fortified line about 1.75 miles (2.82 km) in length approximately half on either side of the junction of White Oak Road, Scott Road and Dinwiddie Court House Road (Ford's Road to the north) at Five Forks.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-200">[187]</a> Because of its strategic importance, General Robert E.

The intervening thick, damp woods and an <a href="/wiki/Acoustic_shadow" title="Acoustic shadow">acoustic shadow</a> prevented them from hearing the opening stage of the battle nearby.

200,000 rations to be sent from Danville via the railroad.<a href="#cite_note-Calkins76-372">[350]</a> Sheridan intercepted this message at Jetersville later that day.<a

Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry was able to hold off the Union infantry until nightfall, but Lee was forced to continue his march to the west under this pressure, depriving his men the opportunity to eat the Farmville rations they had waited so long to receive.

National Park Service historian Chris M. Calkins estimates 6,266 killed and wounded, 19,132 captured; surrendering at Appomattox Court House were 22,349 infantry, 1,559 cavalry, and 2,576 artillery troops.<a href="#cite_note-435">[410]</a> William Marvel has written that many of the Confederate veterans bemoaned that there were only "8,000 muskets" available at the end against the enormous Union Army, but this figure deliberately ignores cavalry and artillery strength and is much lower than the total number of men who received certificates of parole. Many men who had slipped away from the army during the retreat later returned to receive the official Federal paperwork allowing them to return to their homes unmolested.<a href="#cite_note-436">[411]</a> Union casualties for the campaign were about 9,700 killed, wounded, and missing or captured.<a href="#cite_note-437">[412]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Classifying_the_campaigns">Classifying the campaigns</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Appomattox_campaign&action=edit&section=50" title="Edit section: Classifying the campaigns">edit</a>]</div> Military historians do not agree on precise boundaries between the campaigns of this era.
