Battle of Gettysburg
Richmond, Virginia was the capital of the Confederate States of America. Richmond was captured by the Union forces on April 2, 1865.
In the Battle of Galveston of 1862, 400 Union troops had surrendered to the Confederate forces and were captured, as well as one gunboat being captured and another destroyed. However, 26 Confederate forces had been killed and 117 wounded. It is generally seen that the Confederate forces won the Battle of Galveston in 1862.
With Grant now in command of all union troops and tough Union commanders in charge of divisions at Chattanooga, Union troops overcame strong Confederate resistance. They attacked a superior Confederate stronghold at Missionary Ridge, turned the tide, and gave the Union a brilliant victory.
Guess it would be Nashville or Memphis.
