The Civil War ended shortly after Richmond fell in April 1865. General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox Court House and General Johnston surrendered to General Sherman.

Montgomery Alabama was named the original capital of the Confederacy in February of 1861. The city was limited in its size and the influx of politicians, journalists, government officials and soldiers soon overwhelmed the cities limited resources. By May of that same year many individuals began to reconsider their choice for a capital. It was then that the recently seceded Virginians offered the use of their state capital and the largest city in the confederacy, Richmond, VA. The Confederate Congress adjourned on May 21st and agreed to reconvene two months later in Richmond Virginia. In 1865 Richmond fell to the union army and was subsequently burned to the ground. Jefferson Davis and the Confederate government fled to Danville, VA where a temporary capital was established lasting only 8 days (April 3rd - 10th, 1865). It was there that Davis got word of Lees surrender at Appomattox in effect ending the Civil War.Richmond, Virginia was the capital of the Confederate States of America.

The battle of Antietam or Sharpsburg prevented the Confederacy's Army of Northern Virginia under Gen. Lee from invading the northern states. The battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville were Confederate victories preventing the US forces from taking the Confederate capital of Richmond.
The Siege of Richmond was a long campaign that slowly choked off the Confederate capital. When the nearby city of Petersburg and its railway depot were finally taken by Union forces, the Confederate government began to collapse. General Lee had little choice but to surrender his large army, and this news caused the other large southern army under General Johnston to surrender just a few days later.
