As Capital of the Confederacy in the U.S. Civil War, Richmond saw much political action. The city was a center of slave trade, and produced and stored munitions, weapons, and supplies for the Confederate Army. It escaped direct conflict till the last month of the war. Union forces closed in on Richmond in 1865, so Confederates set fire to bridges, armory, and warehouses. The fire raged out of control, and large parts of the city were destroyed.
