Serious students of history, in collaboration with corporations, non-profit groups, and the United States government, are successfully seeking ways to preserve the landmarks, battlefields, and memory of the Civil War for future generations. The Civil War Preservation Trust alone has preserved over 25,000 acres in nineteen states.
