Battlefield Coalitions
The Civil War Preservation Trust is a proud member of the following battlefield preservation coalitions:
Coalition
to Save Chancellorsville Battlefield
The Coalition to Save Chancellorsville
Battlefield is an informal coalition of 12 national
and local groups dedicated to preserving and protecting
Chancellorsville Battlefield. The Coalition was formed
in July 2002.
Morris
Island Coalition
The Morris Island Coalition
is a broad coalition of preservation groups that have
joined together to save historic Morris Island and
the remains of Fort Wagner. The attack by the
54th Massachussetts (an African-American unit) on
Fort Wagner inspired the 1990 film "Glory."
Glorieta Battlefield
Coalition
The Glorieta Battlefield Coalition is a citizens' organization
whose members include residents of Pecos, Glorieta,
Santa Fe, and elsewhere in New Mexico and the Southwest.
The purpose of the Coalition is to preserve and interpret
the Battlefield as part of Pecos National Historical
Park.
Manassas
Bypass Coalition
CWPT is a member of this informal coalition that has
formed to protect Manassas National Battlefield from
the potential impact of a bypass around the battlefield.
Friends of Manassas Battlefield maintains a website
about the bypass controversy.
