It was formed over 180 million years ago under and within the beds of sandstone and shale that covered the area and over time was forced upward between existing strata. Where the sheet has been exposed to the seasonal freezing of water in the crevices and cracks, it has broken into smaller pieces that have been weathered over the years into separate boulders.
If you're talking about the American Civil War, I assume you are referring to Devils Den in Gettysburg. There was no 'battle of Devils Den." The Devils Den formed part of the defensive line of Union General Sickles' on day two of the battle. The Confederate captured the Den when they crushed the Union defenses and drove the Union survivors back onto the Wheat Field and Little Round Top. The Confederates used the Den as a base for sharpshooters for the remainder of the battle.

1.) Devils den was formed over 180 million years ago under and within the beds of sandstone and shale that covered the area and over time was forced upward between existing strata. Where the sheet has been exposed to the seasonal freezing of water in the crevices and cracks, it has broken into smaller pieces that have been weathered over the years into separate boulders. Devils Den gained importance in the second day of the fighting near Gettysburg, July 2, 1863, with a Confederate assault by Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's First Corps through this terrain. Conducted by the division of Maj. Gen. John Bell Hood, and including both the Texas Brigade and 3rd Arkansas, the charge was directed towards the left flank of the Union Army of the Potomac and hit Devil's Den as well as the high ground at Little Round Top. Devil's Den was defended by the Union III Corps division of Maj. Gen. David B. Birney, later reinforced by the V Corps.
Talus slopes are broken rocks formed by gravity and the convergent boundary. Ex: Devils Lake Gorge.
Devils Tower is a natural geological formation, specifically an igneous intrusion that formed underground and was exposed through erosion. It is not man-made.
