Most will say Gettysburg because of the ghost stories. I've visited some of them and so far Antietam has been the most interesting. I'd like to work my way further south tho.

That sounds pretty cool Rabbit. I've always wondered how interesting it would be to go to one. The only one I ever saw was on South Park lol.

Chickamauga is a great battlefield to visit. If you go, go during the summertime heat!
Another good one not far from Gettysburg is New Market. It's RIGHT off 1-81. It's not the best preserved field, I think. Hell, there's an interstate right next to it. But it's a very interesting battlefield. The museum has a great film, too. Very good story. I won't spoil it for you if you don't know about it already!
If you're ever in the Chattanooga area, too, it's worth a stop off (if you can find it) to visit Silverdale Confederate Cematary. It's one of the first Chattanooga exits when you're heading south on i-75. Get off that exit, hang 2 rights, and keep an eye out for the cemetary gate on your right. It's easy to find, but very easy to miss. A google search for it might reveal some directions. It's nothing spectacular. No headstones, but it's an interesting stop if you're in the area anyways. easy on/easy off if you're travelling the interstate.

Yes, I think Gettysburg is interesting but I am from Pennsylvania. I also believe there are very interesting battleground sites at Antietam , the area around Richmond Virginia, Shiloh, Tennessee and the area ehere they fought the battle of the Wilderness, and Vicksburg, Mississippi.

I would like to see them all. The only one I have visited is Vicksburg. This kinda broke the back of the south during this siege. Since my great grandpa was captured at Vicksburg and exchanged 3 days later, this place is kinda special. The actual spot where he was captured has some monuments there but it is in a very out of the way place. He also fought at Shiloh and Corinth.
Vicksburg apparently sold off some of the battle ground in the past because in the middle of the area is a Jewish cemetery. Very interesting place. You could spend at very full day seeing just what is there.

The final act that Abraham Lincoln signed into regulation earlier being shot replaced into formally sanctifying the secret provider. Their activity at that element replaced into to seize counterfeiters and stop counterfeiting. each state revealed that's very own money at that element and almost 3/4 of all forex replaced into counterfeit. in case you lived in Missouri you does no longer understand a real Virginia dollar invoice so it replaced into an common crime to devote. The brokers did no longer start to guard the president formally till after the assisination of President William McKinley. the secret provider to on the present time fights counterfeiting individuals forex and shares and bonds, protects US financial platforms, mastercard fraud, protects distant places embassies and leaders whilst they bypass to the U. S. for UN visits or any very own or good agency and of direction, what all and sundry thinks of, protects the president, first woman, vice-president & his spouse and applicants that have formally introduced their run for workplace. additionally, they safeguard former presidents and their better halves. by potential of ways, the only president that gave up secret provider protection replaced into Richard Nixon, who would have fairly made the element that he needed it the main. The Clintons are the final to get lifetime protection. it fairly is going to be a changed term for Bush and destiny presidents.

This is not a battlefield but a still active Army Post, Fort Monroe, Virginia. Everyone is forever seeing and hearing something. God Bless You and Our Southern People.
