Richmond, Virginia, burned on April 3, 1865, during the final days of the American Civil War. As Confederate forces evacuated the city to prevent Union troops from capturing it intact, they set fire to various buildings, including government structures and military supplies. The flames spread rapidly, leading to significant destruction. This event marked a pivotal moment in the fall of the Confederacy.
