I agree with those who say that this would be very unlikely to happen.

If, for whatever reason, they either rename an existing city or build a new one, I would guess they would call it Calhoun City.

Can anyone just tell why can't it just happen?

At least Im trying to not make it a cliche though.........

Because its a waste of resources better spent on the war. Plus they had several good cities to use during the war-time. Now if you want the CSA to do so after the war as a way of providing jobs....

Oh and as for Confederate Expansion, expect them to have an interest in Central America and Cuba. The former will have lots of adventureres and the latter might be bought from the Spanish during the Cuban rebellions.

Thats true (Since your probably my only friend around here)

So yeah I'll just chose Montgomery, then create the capital in the 1880s or 90s, fair enough?

Sure, but you'll have to explain why Richmond wasn't chosen.

Richmond gets sacked pretty much after a Union raid, all of it Government buildings were destroyed, and much of industry n the city was decimated.

Thats it I guess......

And what happened to Magruder for him to allow this? And the Virginia State Militia?

Thats....Er....The problem
I typed down that the Guerilla campaign in CSA-Controlled Pennsylvania prompted many militia divisions to cut down in size to patrol the areas (Thus, putting less Virginian Militants in charge of the Shenandoah and Richmond).
Im not sure about Magruder (Hell, I don't even who the guy is, though I just searched him up on wiki)
Maybe that I should kill him off in Battle of Yorktown. But since he served in the Mexican-French War, I want him to fight for the Empire there.

I did put down that Militia was caught by suprise by the invasion, and before Magruder (Who, I might type in, that is fighting somewhere near Richmond, as a distraction) could act.
So before he could arrive in time, Richmond is in ruins.

I guess thats kinda alright....

Huh. That the CS would occupy pensylvania so early on is ... alone. That raiding parties would reach past this area of occupation and destroy Richmond is ... times 1000.

Once they destory Richmond, they'll just go the hell out, because of the defiance the Confederate Civilians will do if the Union occupies

Any raiding party large enough to destroy Richmond is large enough to be noticed crossing the lines. Conversly, an raiding party small enough to cross the line is too small to destory Richmond.

Well is there another way to sack Richmond?

ASBs? If you want to remove the possibility of Richmond being the capital, simply have anti-Virginian sentiment allow it elsewhere.
