Yes, capturing Richmond, Virginia, was one of the primary objectives of the Union during the American Civil War. As the capital of the Confederate States, Richmond held significant political and military importance. The city was targeted in several campaigns, including the Peninsular Campaign and the Overland Campaign, as Union forces sought to weaken the Confederacy by taking its capital.
