Civil War Battlefield Sites are disappearing at an astonishing rate. The Civil War Trust is a battlefield protection organization that is committed to protecting as many of the Civil War Battlefields from development. They are hoping to raise $40 million dollars this year towards the protection of those lands.

We cannot look at those spots and see the battle or the dead lying among the trees decimated by cannon fire, but I also know that the cause those soldiers for which those soldiers gave their lives make it an almost sacred land.
