As Union soldiers marched into Richmond in 1865, General Lee’s army

By the time Union soldiers entered Richmond in April 1865, Lee’s Confederate army was exhausted and retreating. It had roughly 35,000 men and was severely short of food, which made continued resistance difficult. The army was not receiving reinforcements or planning to reclaim Richmond, so the correct choice is “had only 35,000 men and no food.”
