Geology and the Civil War
(View from Perryville Battle Field)
Geology played a vital role in practically every
aspect of human existence, and has profoundly affected our history.
One such event that illustrates this interaction is the American Civil
War (1861-1865).
This website explores a few key events of the American
Civil War and examines how the geology of an area determined or affected
what happened there. We plan to offer you with a concise review of
the geology and history of several events during the Civil War, and show
how the two are closely related.
We invite you to explore this new area of
thought, and see for yourself how geology effected the Civil War.
