What major events of the Civil War occured in 1863?
In the West, the Vicksburg campaign, where Grant captured the last Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi, dividing the Confederacy into two parts, and enabling him to rescue the besieged Army of the Cumberland at Chattanooga. (This ended the war in the West). In the East, Lee's spectacular success at Chancellorsville, followed by his historic defeat at Gettysburg, ending his hopes of invading Pennsylvania. By the end of the year, Grant was on course to become General-in-Chief.
What year did Richmond become the capital of the confederacy?
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.
Why did 1863 prove to be such a pivoted year in the civil war?
It started with the Emancipation Proclamation - effective January 1st 1863. This meant that Britain and France had to give up their plans to help the Confederates, because it would have made them look pro-slavery. In May, the Battle of Chancellorsville looked like a shock defeat for the Union, but it cost the Confederates the life of General Stonewall Jackson - the only General whose death in action directly affected the course of the war, for the Army of Northern Virginia was never the same after the loss of Lee's right-hand man. This was followed by an even bigger shock defeat for the Confederacy, at Gettysburg - announced on the same July the Fourth as the Union triumph at Vicksburg on the Mississippi. In August, the Confederate commander Braxton Bragg scored a shattering victory over the Union at Chickamauga, and then besieged it at Chattanooga, but it was saved from starvation by U.S. Grant. After 1863, only one thing could have allowed the Confederates to win the war, and that was the General Election of 1864, which was won by Lincoln in the end.
