Which U.S. state saw the most fighting during the Civil War, with over 100 battles?

Medical help was very scarce. prisoners on both sides starved and diseases were another cause of casualties.

PATSNATION5INGS, You say people will forget the Civil War if the Confederate monuments are removed. Should we put Osama bin Laden statues at ground zero & in front of the Pentagon? A Timothy McVeigh statue in Oklahoma City? Do you think Germany has forgotten Hitler because they don't have any statues of him? It sounds completely mental doesn't it????? That's because statues and monuments don't teach history. They are erected to honor a person or event, which is why even Robert E Lee was vehemently against having them erected for the Confederacy after the Civil War. Our country needs to be united, not divided and those monuments are divisive and offensive to many Americans. Put them in a museum where those who wish to see them can but it's time for our country to take a Confederate general's advice to heal, unite, and move past the Civil War...

I had a lot of relatives that died at Andersonville. 3 were brothers. One was a drummer boy. He was 11 years old. His drum still sits in North Haverhill NH in the Ladd St. School House. I have e a pic with my mother holding it...

War! What is it good for.....

I learned a lot from the information provided with this answer. I didn't know there were so many battles.

Thats why we need to preserve our Confederate monuments... Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it!!

great percentage of Vets are still being treated like crap

Im from good ole VA. Lotsa history

i love talking with history buffs that know their stuff! i wasn't interested in school but as an adult i am now. u cant throw that stuff at a teenager, i always thought.

If our country doesn’t stop fighting within and come together we might have another Civil War. Good information though I like to learn

War is a way to control the world's populations, you don't have to agree. Just look at it with an open mind.

Papa Bear Too, absolutely nothing!!!!

Timbo USN (Ret.), that doesn't make it right.

Papa Bear Too, absolutely nothing!

In my opinion, most conflicts (personal, national, etc ) are caused by people's ego. If you have a belief, you feel threatened when someone challenges you. This escalates and sides are taken. Then things get out of control. Isn't pride one of the 7 deadly sins?!!

George , slavery has been around way before Columbus discovered America!

PATSNATION5INGS, well said!

Player #120374466, the Civil War was far more then to end slavery by the time it had started most southerners had frees there slaves and moved on to share cropping far more profitable the War was more over rights of southern states taxation without reposition you need to read more

PATSNATION5INGS, Whose Confederate monuments? The Confederates were the enemy. Why would we put up statues of the enemy?! Said statues were erected in the 1920s-30s by white supremacists.

Michey, Has to mostly do with slavery. And thousands of white soldiers died to end slavery.

it was both Virginia and Tennessee

Papa Bear Too, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

AND WHY WHERE THEY FIGHTING? I MEAN REALLY. WHY?

Imhvnfn, England bought a lot of Southern cotton back then.

lightning, No they didn't. They bought people to turn them into slaves to work the land. Cheap labor for sadistic people to feel better about their so called "way of life". Bigotry of the South is still alive because people are ignorant.

Player #2447947, You can thank a politician for that.

Papa Bear Too, Absolutely nothing!

PATSNATION5INGS, We need those confederate monuments like we need lying politician's in America. #smh

That's a lot of death & destruction

and due to this division the great state of West Virginia was born. Mountaineer Proud.

New Market Museum near Harrisonburg, Va is very heart-wrenching and educational, recounting the lives and deaths of the young soldiers (14 & 15 years old) who fought and died at the Battle at New Market. They also perform a battle re-enactment every year.

it was actually Virgina and Tennessee

I feel very bad for all the people who lost their lives in that battle.

its interesting to see the first feuds that started this war. not sure they were even about slavery just land.

Born and raised as a young man in Maryland before I went into the army. Lots of history in that area, Colonial and Civil War.

DeepThinker, Neither did I.

PATSNATION5INGS, I see it as a teaching moment.

Stones River was in Tennessee.

Papa Bear Too, absolutely nothing!!!
