Early on in the US Civil War, the Union's plans to capture Richmond might have made the war shorter than it became. As efforts to accomplish this military operation faded, the fall of Richmond became less of a Union priority. Richmond fell in 1865. Even if did not surrender, the war was at a point where Southern military forces were weakened severely, so much so that Richmond was a non-factor in the opinion of many students of the war.
