AI notes: The Battle of Cold Harbor was a major Civil War clash near Richmond, Virginia, during Grant’s Overland Campaign. On June 3, a massive Union assault on fortified Confederate lines led to around 7,000 Union casualties in less than an hour, while Confederate losses were much lower. The failed attack became infamous for its futility, and though Grant regretted the assault, he continued his advance toward Petersburg rather than retreat.
