During the American Civil War, the South's initial plan to defend its homeland was a simple but, for several years, effective one. Taking advantage of its interior lines of communication and defense, it sought to force the Union into costly and slow attacks upon strong-point defenses at the borders of the South. At the same time, its Army of Northern Virginia sought to threaten the Union capitol of Washington, D. C. , while also protecting the Confederate capitol of Richmond, Virginia.
