Why did the North want to capture Richmond?
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. Lincoln was sure that all of Virginia would then fall and Union troops could continue their drive into North Carolina. The loss of Richmond, along with the state of Virginia and the occupation of North Carolina, would lead to the end of the Confederacy.
