There a pretty cool Civil War battlefield just north of Mobile

It's not visited often so it still has well-defined trenches and earthworks. Battle of Fort Blakely in April 1865. I was really impressed how much definition was left in the earthworks, batteries and fortifications.

I don't know much about the city though.
