Ken Burns: Favorite Civil War Sites

The current USA Weekend issue features Ken Burns' favorite Civil War Sites.  I think everyone should be fascinated with the significance of this war and how it tore our country apart.

It would be great to visit some of these sites but logistics would be huge to try and take a "tour" of these sites since they are pretty spread apart and we are on the West Coast.

The sites include:

• Fort Sumter, South Carolina
• First Battle of Bull Run, Manassas, Virginia
• Shiloh, Tennessee
• Antietam
• Fredericksburg, Virginia
• Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
• Vicksburg, Mississippi
• Chattanooga, Tennessee
• Petersburg, Virginia
• Appomattox Court House, Virginia
