The Union took over Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, during the final stages of the Civil War in April 1865. Union General Ulysses S. Grant's forces launched a series of assaults that breached the Confederate defenses surrounding the city. As Confederate troops, led by General Robert E. Lee, retreated in the face of overwhelming Union numbers, Richmond fell on April 3, 1865. This event marked a significant turning point, leading to the eventual surrender of Lee’s Army at Appomattox Court House shortly thereafter.
