What is significant about the fortifications in the US Civil War and wars fought after it?
For the most part, trench warfare in the US Civil War was quite different than trench warfare in wars fought after it. For example, there is the misconception that trench warfare in World War One was a throw back to the trenches in the US Civil War. Here are the differences: 1. Trench warfare in the context of the US Civil War refers to battles that were centered on the presence of significant earthworks used primarily for defense; and 2. Trench warfare in World War One for example was the result of bogged offensives that created a matrix of complicated trenches that provided a "shelter" for armies of both sides in between repeated charges over a "no mans land" that usually ended in a draw.
