It always struck me as an odd decision for the racist traitors to have Richmond VA as the seat of their government. It was on the face of it quite vulenrable.
Of couse in OTL Richmond only fell when the rebellion was being defeated clearly anyway.
Would it have changed anything had the rebel government stayed in Montgomery.
I am assuming that overall the South still loses and that the North's strategy changes somewhat.
