No. Fredericksburg, Virginia is almost exactly halfway between Washington, D. C. and Richmond, Virginia. Those two capitals of the warring sections were one hundred miles apart, with Fredericksburg at the midpoint of a line drawn straight between them on a map. Because of this location a lot of the war in the east took place in and around Fredericksburg. The Battles of Chancellorsville (May 1863) and The Wilderness (May 1864) were a few miles west of town, mostly, but there was fighting in Fredericksburg both times.
