Civil War Defenses of Washington
Civil War Defenses of Washington (also known as Fort Circle Parks) is a collection of National Park Service properties in and around Washington, D.C. joined by a similar historic theme. Other forts have become state and city parks, in the area. Together they commemorate the defense of the capital during the American Civil War.
==History==
The Washington area had 68 major enclosed forts, as well as 93 prepared (but unarmed) batteries for field guns, and seven blockhouses surrounding it during the American Civil War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Civil War Defenses of Washington Historic Resource Study, Appendix A )〕There were also twenty miles of rifle pits and thirty miles of connecting military roads.''〔Cooling, Benjamin Franklin III and Walton H. Owen II (2010). ''Mr. Lincoln's Forts: A Guide to the Civil War Defenses of Washington''. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press. ISBN 978-0810860674〕'' These were Union forts, and the Confederacy never captured one. Indeed, most never came under enemy fire. These were used to house soldiers and store artillery and other supplies.
