Personally I think keeping the Union capital in DC was rather foolish. The Confederates were right across the river, and what if Maryland seceded? Moving the capital back to the Philadelphia would've been what I would've done if I were Lincoln.

The Confederates weren't much smarter though putting their capital in Richmond, not too innacessible from the Union. A more logical choice would've been somewhere like Atlanta. But I would go way deep and entrenched, and go with Montgomery or Mobile.
