The last major task of the Union was completed in April of 1865, when the Confederate capital of Richmond, 100 miles or so south of Washington DC, was captured.
From the beginning of the war, Lincoln had pushed his generals to take this city which was the symbol of the Confederacy. Yet despite at least 4 attempts, the city remained the capital until the last few days of the war. From the battles of the Bull Runs to the peninsula campaign the Union was unable to capture it with any form of direct assault. It had superior fortifications.
Petersburg which was a supply rail head for supplying Richmond to the north and Richmond were both under siege for months.
At this time, the war was almost over, however, it would have been a stinging reminder to the North if the Confederacy had surrendered without the Union first capturing the Confederate capital.
