The Confederacy moved its capital from Alabama to Richmond, Virginia. It remained there for the better part of the Civil War. Much to the concern of Lincoln as he could not understand why the Army of the Potomac could not capture it earlier. Richmond is a stone's throw away from Washington DC.

The Capital of the US remained in Washington, DC. The Capital of the Confederate States was first established in Montgomery, Alabama and was moved to Richmond, Virginia after 6 May 1861 where it remained in place until 3 April 1865. Danville, Virginia was its Capital for one week after the fall of Richmond to Union forces.

The south, or Confederate States of America, actually had three capitals during the Civil War. Montgomery, Alabama was the capital from February 4 to May 29, 1861. The capital was then relocated to Richmond, Virginia until April 2, 1865. The last capital was Danville, Virginia, from April 3 to April 10, 1865.
