there is an aspect of perseverance, however, where lee may be criticized. unlike grant who learned from experience, the virginian continued fighting in ways that had worked well earlier in the war but were no longer applicable in the mid-1864. unlike at chancellorsville, his counterattacks at petersburg almost never drove the union strike force from the field. at best, they simply stopped the force short of its objective. counterattacks failed to overcome the confederates. instead, they simply produced mounting confederate casualties with no corresponding conquest. for lee at petersburg, the old ways no longer worked. such hallmarks of generalship characterized the exercise of command by lee and grant at petersburg. yet with armies ranging from approximately 50,000 to 60,000 secessionists, and from 100,000-127,000 bluecoats, the two commanders obviously could not control everything themselves but had to rely on senior subordinates. here too lay lessons in leadership. to begin with, both commanding generals worked with and through their senior subordinates,
