The Confederates burned Richmond as President Davis and his cabinet fled to make sure the Union Army could not use Confederate resources.
During the American Civil War, Richmond became the capital of the Confederate States of America.
On April 2, 1865, more than 25% of the buildings in the city were destroyed by fire after the withdrawal of the Confederate soldiers, who burned all the Confederate resources to make them unusable for the Union.
On April 3, 1865, Ulysses S. Grant and the Union Army captured Richmond, and the state capital was then transferred to Lynchburg. The Army of North Virginia, commanded by Robert Lee retired and surrendered six days later before Grant in the Appomattox Court House, becoming the symbolic end of the war.
Cyrus' conquest was relatively humane compared to empires preceding his, such as the Babylonians and Assyrians. He allowed many areas of his empire a great deal of autonomy, rather than centrally controlling things. This distributed leadership allowed Persia to cover a greater geographical area than previous empires in that era and still be fairly stable, since most of its subjects were content to remain under Persian rule. Persian law was more codified and less arbitrary than previous empires; the king's seal declared approval of law which could only be reversed by further approved decrees -- not quite rule of law but going in that direction.

The principle at how the aid was expected to work was that the people and governments of these countries would be grateful to the United States and see them as a friend that tries to help them and develop them. While the idea was good for the United States, in practice it was not going as planned. Most of the Latin American countries had much more affinity toward the communism and socialism, which was something that the United States was actually fighting against, and unfortunately that led to numerous conflicts in this regions, most of which sponsored by the United States themselves.
