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.
