Which best describes the outcome of the siege of petersburg?

The correct answer is Although Union troops greatly outnumbered Confederate troops, it took months for the North to achieve victory.

The Union had more than a double the amount of army that the Confederacy had and they still couldn't enter Petersburg easily with the siege lasting for over 9 months. It wasn't a classic siege but rather a form of trench warfare where they couldn't move towards Petersburg even though they greatly outnumbered the confederate forces.

Herodotus taught that absolute right and wrong did exist.
