UNDER SIEGE! - PETERSBURG 1864

Fought during the American Civil War, Petersburg should never have been 'under siege' at all. Union forces should have seized control of the town in June 1864 but through a mixture of confusion and incompetence they failed in their objective and a yearlong siege followed. Petersburg is best remembered for the tragedy of the great crater, the result of a huge underground explosion in July 1864, into which the Union Army inexplicably charged, creating a ready made killing zone. This unusual tactic was an extreme answer to solving the problem of siege warfare.
