The Civil War was not fought in isolation. What happened in one place shaped what came next somewhere else. Victories opened doors. Defeats forced new strategies. Movements in one theater influenced outcomes in another.
Today, we have a rare opportunity to help preserve pieces of that larger story. Right now, we are working to protect 438 acres across seven historic battlefields:
🔵 Richmond, Kentucky
🔴 Perryville, Kentucky
🔵 Glorieta Pass, New Mexico
🔴 Corinth, Mississippi
🔵 Hoover's Gap, Tennessee
🔴 Resaca, Georgia
🔵 Newtonia, Missouri
These places may be miles apart, but they are tied together by consequence. Each played a role in shaping the course of the war — and the nation that followed.
Just $374,900 must be raised to secure these irreplaceable acres — land valued at more than $3.8 million. Preservation succeeds only when action is taken in time. This is one of those moments. Donate today. https://t.co/dUJlLj8e6H
