Guides to Civil War Battlefields: The Ultimate Guide to Exploring America's Historic Battlegrounds

The American Civil War was one of the most pivotal events in the history of the United States. Fought between 1861 and 1865, the war pitted the Union (the northern states) against the Confederacy (the southern states). The war was fought over the issue of slavery, and ultimately resulted in the abolition of slavery in the United States.

Today, many of the battlefields from the Civil War are preserved as historical parks. These parks offer visitors a chance to learn about the war and its impact on the nation. They also provide a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who fought in the war.

This guidebook provides detailed descriptions of over 100 Civil War battlefields. Each entry includes a map of the battlefield, photos, and a historical narrative. The guidebook also includes a section on planning your trip to a battlefield, as well as a list of resources for further research.
