Civil War Battlefields

Civil War battlefields are historical sites where significant battles of the American Civil War (1861-1865) took place. These locations, such as Gettysburg and Antietam, are preserved to honor the sacrifices made during the conflict and to educate the public about the war's impact on American history. Battlefields often feature monuments, visitor centers, and guided tours, allowing people to learn about military strategies, key figures, and the social and political ramifications of the war. They serve as reminders of the past and contribute to discussions about issues like civil rights and the legacy of conflict in the United States.
