as rowland wrote lee was too much of an american to play the napoleon. now, a third factor to lee's credit is his conduct of the petersburg campaign in 1865. the operational situation around rich mornd and petersburg on january 31st, 1865 static for two months, presented almost insurmountable problems for lee and his army. but the general took several steps that resulted in his successful defense of the city for another 92 days. including the 5,300 men lee could count about 57,000 men of all arms in richmond and petersburg in the winter of 1865, while he faced 124,000 men in meade and butler's armies under grant. in addition to this numerical disparity, lee had to cope with a worsening supply situation, so bad that he cautioned the president that if some change is not made in the commissary department not organized i apprehend dire results. and this warning helped persuade president davis to take just that step and relieve the incompetent northrup. lee had to defend a line that ran nearly 40 miles to northeast of richmond to hatcher's run southwest of pe
