Article:	Confederacy abandons Richmond, loses war On this day (April 2) in 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis issued the order for the Confederate government to evacuate Richmond, Va., thereby hoping to avoid the total destruction of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s badly battered, outnumbered 3 to 1, Army of Northern Virginia at the hands of Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s huge besieging Army of the Potomac.
