US President Lincoln and his cabinet believed that if Richmond was captured early in the war, it would bring the end of the rebellion very quickly. The capture of Richmond would have been a severe blow to the morale of the Confederates and also weaken President Davis' diplomatic relations with England and France. Also, Richmond was a major arms producer and the logistical and command center for the South.
