Just reading through the very interesting "The American Civil War, Day by Day" thread from Gen. Ned Simms and now reached the point where:
"The Provisional Congress of the Confederacy voted to move the capital of the nation from Montgomery, Ala to Richmond, Va, a move calculated to ensure the support of Virginia."
Now I just wonder how the course of the war would have been if the capital stayed in Montgomery.
Any ideas?
