Answer 1

Before Gettysburg, most Civil War battles in the East were fought on Confederate soil. The early engagements of the war, particularly in Virginia, largely took place in Confederate territory, as Union forces aimed to penetrate and secure the South. Notable battles such as the First and Second Battles of Bull Run took place in Virginia, which was a Confederate state.
