contents Let $G$ be the generalized free product of two groups with an amalgamated subgroup. We propose an approach that allows one to use results on the residual $p$-finiteness of $G$ for proving that this generalized free product is residually a finite nilpotent group or residually a finite metanilpotent group. This approach can be applied under most of the conditions on the amalgamated subgroup that allow the study of residual $p$-finiteness. Namely, we consider the cases where the amalgamated subgroup is a) periodic, b) locally cyclic, c) central in one of the free factors, d) normal in both free factors, or e) is a retract of one of the free factors. In each of these cases, we give certain necessary and sufficient conditions for $G$ to be residually a) a finite nilpotent group, b) a finite metanilpotent group.
