Confederate Breastworks, Civil War fortification in Fayetteville, United States.
The Confederate Breastworks consist of earthen fortifications extending 2500 feet with multiple circular cannon emplacements on the Veterans Administration Hospital grounds.
Confederate forces constructed these defensive earthworks in March 1865 to protect Fayetteville from General William Sherman's advancing Union army during the Civil War.
The breastworks represent military engineering techniques of the American Civil War period, demonstrating how armies adapted their defenses to the era's weapons.
Visitors can examine the preserved fortifications behind the main building of the Fayetteville Veterans Administration Hospital during daylight hours.
The site maintains its original U-shaped configuration from Raleigh Road, with both linear defenses and specialized positions for artillery placement.
