More than half the major battles of the Civil War were fought on Virginia soil. The site of the first major land battle at Manassas or "Bull Run," as well as one of the bloodiest battles at Marye's Heights, are in Virginia. The general commanding Confederate forces, Robert E. Lee, had the unique distinction of being first asked to command the opposing federal army, which he declined because he would not raise his hand against his native Virginia.

The feature film "Gods and Generals" features these battles and was filmed in Virginia. You can win a 3-day/2-night vacation package to the Lexington, Virginia to tour in the footsteps of "Stonewall" Jackson and Robert E. Lee, prominent figures of the Civil War and featured in the film, courtesy of Traveling America . See the package details here.
