What military events led the Confederate government to evacuate their capital of Richmond Virginia to evacuate in the Spring of 1865?
A series of military events which included Union general Sheridan to overcome the South's position in Five Forks Virginia. With Sheridan's success, General Grant attacked Petersburg, a Confederate city that laid between it and Richmond. Confederate entrenchments which had protected Richmond during the course of the war, no longer had enough soldiers to man the defences. Thus Grant had a clear path to Richmond. News of all these battles reached Richmond in time for the top Confederate leaders to escape.
Which of these was not an element of the Anaconda Plan?
The Anaconda Plan consisted of: 1) Blockading Atlantic Ports of the Southern States, 2) Blockading the Gulf Ports, and 3) Seizing and Securing the Mississippi to deny its use to the enemy either through gunboat blockade or by an overland campaign. The plan authored by General Scott also included securing the Ohio River. In total the Plan was devised to squeeze the South into submission and hopefully the South would sue for peace seeing it had no hope. Lincoln rejected the Ohio River part of the PLan as not being practical.
