| | | Southwest Virginia played an important role in the Civil War. It was home to many natural resources vital to the war effort such as salt, lead, and iron, and its railroads were a lifeline to the rest of the Confederacy. As the war began, Confederate soldiers'' hopes ran high that an independent South could be realized. This hope fueled their determination and aided them in seeing the war through, despite many overwhelming odds. However, after seceding from the union along with the rest of the state of Virginia, Southwest Virginia was left vulnerable to attack, setting the scene for many vicious battles. This account details many of the major battles that occurred in the area over the four years of the war. Included with these historical conflicts are stories of personal and Southern triumph, Northern atrocities, and heroes and villains.
