Answer:

It was important for the Confederacy to defend Richmond, Virginia because Richmond was the seat of the Confederate government (its capital). The loss of Richmond would be the Union equivalent of losing Washington D.C. to the Confederates. It was widely considered that the capture of the other side's capital would signal the end of the Civil War.

The Peloponnesian war was a war fought between the Delian League, led by Athens, and the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta. It was different from other conflicts like the Persian Wars because there was no outside conflict. It was a conflict between the two Greek "Superpowers" and they both felt like it was necessary to gain an edge over the other. After fighting this war, Sparta was victorious.
