Civil War Battlefield

A Civil War battlefield is a historical site where battles from the American Civil War (1861-1865) took place. These locations often feature trenches, troop positions, and remnants of weapons, and are preserved to honor those who fought and to educate visitors. Battlefield sites provide insight into military strategies, the scale of the conflicts, and the human cost of war. Many are now national parks or memorials, offering guided tours, monuments, and interpretive exhibits to help people understand this pivotal period in American history.
