Best Answer

In February, 1861 Montgomery, Alabama became the first capital city of the Confederate States of America. The capital was moved from Montgomery, Alabama to Richmond, Virginia, in May 1861. It served as the capital from May 29, 1861 to April 2, 1865, when it was captured by Union forces. When Richmond fell to the Federal army in 1865, the Confederate government travelled to Danville, Virginia. Danville was the seat of the Confederate government for only eight days, April 3-10, 1865. On April 9, 1865 Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, bringing an end to the Civil War after four years of battle.

What is the difference between the word capitol and capital?

The last vowel. "Capitol" is used almost always to refer to a building, specifically the building in which a legislative body meets. The US Capitol is the building where the US Senate and House of Representatives meet. Capitol Hill is (literally) the hill upon which that building sits, and (figuratively) either the general region of that hill or sometimes as a rather poetic way of referring to the members of the legislature and their staff. "Capital" is used in almost every other case: capital letter, capital punishment, state capital (the city, as opposed to the state's Capitol Building, which is almost certainly located within the state's capital city). It comes from a word which means "head".
