From the City on the James to Confederate Capital

View through CrossRef
The initial chapter chronicles Richmond’s economic development and modernization during the 1850s. By the eve of secession, Richmond ranked thirteenth nationally in manufacturing. The city and its citizens remained staunchly Unionist while the Deep Southern states seceded. It was President Abraham Lincoln’s call for 75,000 militia, with some required to come from Virginia, that turned Richmonders into enthusiastic supporters of secession. It was only logical that the Confederate government relocated the capital from sleepy Montgomery, Alabama, to the bustling city on the James River because of its prominence.
