The Civil War Sites Advisory Commission's principal battles, 1861–1865
Revolution and 1812 Methods Battle explorer

The Commission's estimates. Each figure is as the National Park Service's battle summary gives it. Forces are often named as units rather than counted, and casualties are rounded totals, so many battles have no number for one side or either. Each battle links to its archived summary.

Where they were fought

Each dot is a point inside the battlefield's core area, as the National Park Service maps it. Zoom in for the core areas (filled) and study areas (outlined). The filters apply to the map, the chart and the list.

Every battle, by date and estimated casualties

Casualties on a log scale. Battles without a casualty figure sit on the bottom row. Larger dots are Class A and B battles. Click a dot for the battle.
