Answer: The Battle of Cold Harbor is often viewed as similar to the assault on Marye's Heights during the Battle of Fredericksburg (1862) because of how lopsided the casualties were.

Explanation:

The Battle of Cold Harbor (1864) was one of the bloodiest, most uneven battles in American history, as many Union soldiers died or were wounded in a disastrous confrontation with the fortified area of the army led by Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
