Georgia in the American Civil War, Confederate state territory in Georgia, United States
Georgia served as a strategic location during the Civil War, with numerous battlefields, forts, and military installations spread across its landscape and cities.
The state joined the Confederate States of America in 1861 as one of the original seven members, contributing approximately 100,000 soldiers to the Confederate forces.
Museums and historical centers across Georgia maintain collections of Civil War artifacts, including weapons, uniforms, documents, and personal items from soldiers.
Visitors can explore multiple preserved Civil War sites, including Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park and Chickamauga Battlefield in Fort Oglethorpe.
Sherman's March to the Sea in 1864 crossed Georgia from Atlanta to Savannah, spanning 285 miles and fundamentally altering the state's infrastructure.
