Thereafter, that call became the rallying cry for the North's eastern armies as they marched, maneuvered, and fought their way toward the capital of the Confederacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust 100 miles from Washington, DC, Richmond served as a symbol of the rebellion itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichmond was home to the Confederate Congress, cabinet, president, and military leadership. And it housed not only the Confederate government but also some of the Confederacy's most important industry and infrastructure. The city was filled with prisons, hospitals, factories, training camps, and government offices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough four years of war, armies battled at its doorsteps--and even penetrated its defenses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCivilians felt the impact of war in many ways: food shortages, rising inflation, a bread riot, industrial accidents, and eventually, military occupation. To this day, the war's legacy remains deeply written into the city and its history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn to Richmond : Richmond During the Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e by historians Doug Crenshaw and Robert M.
