Best Answer

There was no Battle of Richmond.

In the spring of 1862, the Union armies were almost in the suburbs of Richmond, from where they were promptly dislodged by Robert E. Lee.

The Siege of Petersburg (where the Confederates were defending Richmond) ended in March 1865, when Lee tried to escape to the West. The remaining Confederates fled the capital, burning many bales of cotton as they went.
