Appomattox Campaign, Part 1 | Evacuation to Amelia Courthouse | Animated Battle Map

Описание: The Appomattox Campaign: The Fall of Richmond & Lee’s Retreat to Amelia Courthouse

In April 1865, the Confederate capital of Richmond fell—and the Army of Northern Virginia began its final, desperate retreat. This animated battle map brings to life the dramatic opening days of the Appomattox Campaign, from the evacuation of Richmond and Petersburg to General Robert E. Lee’s fateful march toward Amelia Courthouse.

Experience the chaos of Richmond’s burning skyline, the destruction of supply lines, and Lee’s struggle to keep his army together as Ulysses S. Grant and the Union forces close in from every direction.

When Lee’s men reached Amelia Courthouse, they expected food and ammunition—but found only confusion and empty trains. That mistake would seal their fate and lead directly to Appomattox Court House and the end of the Civil War.
