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.

Trench warfare is where two armies are at war, and they both are fighting from trenches, or long ditches in the ground. It is a very old type of warfare, but it was at it climax in WWI.

What did Wilfred Owen have to do with trenches?
As a duty-bound soldier served in the First World War he certainly had to do much with trenches as they were an essential part of land-based warfare in those times as of today. Even though Wilfred Owen wrote poems almost all describing the various follies of war and the futility of war, it does not mean that he was not an active participant in war or that he was a timid soldier either. He died while in action.

Trench warfare which was a major part of US Civil War tactics was also used in a large degree in WW 1. As an aside, over 2,000 soldiers were shot for disobeying orders in WW 1. Their disobedience was directly related to the fact that many soldiers refused orders to climb ladders out of their trenches and make almost suicidal assaults against the enemy in their trenches.
