The Confederate States of America boasted five capital cities in four
years. The center of the Confederate government moved from one Southern
city to another, including Montgomery, Richmond, Danville, Greensboro
and Charlotte. From the heady early days of the new country to the
dismal last hours of a transient government, each city played a role in
the Confederate story. While some of these sites are commemorated with
impressive monuments and museums, others offer scant evidence of their
importance in Civil War history. Join award-winning historian Michael C.
Hardy as he recounts the harrowing history of the capitals of the
Confederacy.
