If this question means: "where was most of the US Civil War battles fought?" then the answer was in Virginia. Virginia's proximity to the Union borders and the Confederacy's capital of Richmond, Virginia was an invitation for many conflicts in Virginia. Aside from the location of Virginia, it was also a rich farmland that helped supply with food for much of the war.
During the US Civil War, Virginia was home to many battles. In the eastern Theater, Virginia, each side had an army that dominated military operations there. For the South it was the Army of Northern Virginia, and for the North it was the Army of the Potomac.

During the American Civil War, most of the actual fighting took place in and around the Southern state of Virginia. Given the close proximity of the Union and Confederate capitals of Washington, D.C., and Richmond (Virginia), both the North and the South made a concentrated effort in this region to achieve victories at each other's expense, although important battles occurred in other regions, as well.
The Union lost three battles of the Civil War
Except for the battles in Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) and in Maryland, most of the battles took place in the South. While initially this included attacks in Virginia, later Union expeditions ranged from Texas and Missouri in the West to the cities of the mid-South, including Sherman's "March to the Sea" after burning Atlanta.
