@brelevad4 Those battles did take place near borders, though the majority of the fighting in those battles corresponds with the information in this quiz (I've checked my maps).

I understand, but they are still inaccurate.

The Battle of Chickamauga was entirely fought in Georgia, ~5 miles into it. Island No. 10 no longer exists; the river channel moved to the south. It is now connected to the mainland of Missouri, just above New Madrid.

Stanwix Station and Picacho Peak, anyone? Surely Arizona Territory deserves some recognition! From 1861-1863 it was a CSA territory split along the 34th Parallel with New Mexico Territory above that. In 1863 the Union split Arizona and New Mexico Territory along their current border. Either way, it should be added. Also, a little more time would be appreciated.

@Hamburger that is, defined as either Class A (Decisive) or Class B (Major) by the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission (CWSAC) @poprox101 Unfortunately, none of the battles of the Arizona Territory received an A or B rating. I'm happy with the spread of scores currently (3.8% are perfect scores), so I'm keeping the time limit at three minutes.

Great quiz! Thanks (although I did embarrassingly poorly!)
