The reason Richmond was burned down by the union.

  • the Union thought the confederate states would lose everything by burning down their capital...
  • the confederate states would have no supplies or shelters to store in
  • so the union had won the civil war by burning down Richmond

No, the Confederates did not burn Richmond to the ground, but they did set fire to certain parts of the city as they evacuated in April 1865 to prevent Union forces from capturing supplies and resources.
