The Battle of Todd's Tavern was fought in Virginia during the American Civil War.〔http://www.nps.gov/frsp/todds.htm〕〔http://civilwar.bluegrass.net/battles-campaigns/1864/64050708.html〕〔http://www.flickr.com/photos/cwpt/2756191341/〕 ==The Battle of the Wilderness==
On May 4, 1864, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's 122,000-man Army of the Potomac and Gen. Robert E. Lee's 66,000-man Army of Northern Virginia opened the Battle of the Wilderness as a meeting engagement. This battle, fought primarily on May 5 and 6, proved costly to both sides, as well as being essentially a draw. As he believed his position untenable (since he had not successfully interposed his army between Grant and Richmond), Lee believed Grant would continue his move towards Richmond. Lee therefore moved to block Grant by shifting the Army of Northern Virginia southward towards Spotsylvania Court House, a crucial junction in the most direct routes from Grant's position in the Wilderness to Richmond.
