The cost of war is high. And saving hallowed ground comes at a great price as well. But the courage of our soldiers must always be remembered and honored. Today, we have the chance to save 10 acres at three battlefields - Spotsylvania Court House in Virginia, and Corinth and Champion Hill, both in Mississippi. bit.ly/3Styqvd
With a three-to-one donation match, help us preserve these battlefield tracts and ensure that the invaluable lessons of history are never forgotten.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

I will be making a donation and encourage others to do the same. This very worthy project covers some of America's most hallowed ground and the parcels appear to be located in "must-have" sections of the battlefields. Thanks for making this video.

Vicksburg and the Mississippi campaign has the potential to become a bigger civil war destination place than Gettysburg. Yeah, I said it. :)

Is there a link to learn more about the Cost of War books? I'm not seeing it on the website. (or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place) Thanks!

It’s in the video description, here: www.battlefields.org/give/save-battlefields/preserve-10-acres-spotsylvania-court-house-corinth-and-champion-hill You can only get the book via donating to support the preservation

We don't have a web page specifically for the book. If it helps, it is 44 pages featuring photographs from many aspects of the war, with forwards from Garry and Chris Mackowski about each section (Cities/towns, prisoners, wounded, battlefield dead and cemeteries).

The biggest problem was the WORLD diversified the cotton production for 1864. So the South lost the cotton market to India, Egypt, Brasil, Ottoman Empire and other countries. Against West Germany after the World War II where the industrial product World market was open for Made in Germany products the South got cotton producer competitors. So the economilal reconstruction had not financial background in the South from 1865. BTW UK began the diversification in 1858! The UK consulats of the Ottoman Empire began to give free of charge cotton seeds to the agricultural producers (Turkish historians published) . India became Crown colony after the revolt and the new Colonial government began to increase the raw cotton production after 1858! Interesting UK goverment began to diversify the cotton production before the Civil War.

Read Union Terror. Didn't protect Arlington Confederate Memorial.

Nothing they could do for that - the Cemetery was already Federal property and Federal election results gave control to the current administration aligned with removal and renaming. The Trust couldn’t have done a thing and only a strong Congressional effort could have stopped that Executive Branch action.
