G'day Janice, Thank you for your question. The capital of the Union was Washington DC. The capital of the Confederacy was Richmond, Virginia. Much of the heaviest fighting of the Civil War occurred between the two capitals. I have attached sources for your reference. Regards Reference Wikipedia United States Civil War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Civil_War#End_of_the_war_1864.E2.80.931865 American Civil War http://americancivilwar.com/statepic/dc/dc001.html wikipedia Richmond in the Civil War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_in_the_Civil_War Civil War Defences Washington http://www.nps.gov/archive/rocr/ftcircle/
