List of American Civil War battles#Notes

The American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) was established within the United States National Park Service to classify the preservation status of historic battlefield land. In 1993, the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission (CWSAC) reported to Congress and the ABPP on their extensive analysis of significant battles and battlefields. Of the estimated 8,000 occasions in which hostilities occurred in the American Civil War, this table and related articles describe the 384 battles that were classified in CWSAC's Report on the Nation's Civil War Battlefields. In addition to the status of battlefield land preservation (not included in this table) CWSAC rated the military significance of the battles into four classes, as follows:{{cite web |title=CWSAC Report |url=http://www.nps.gov/hps/abpp/cwsac/cws0-1.html |website=Civil War Sites Advisory Commission |publisher=US National Park Service |access-date=17 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181219001021/https://www.nps.gov/abpp/cwsac/cws0-1.html |archive-date=19 December 2018 |date=8 December 1997 |url-status=dead}}{{cite book |title=Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report on the Nation's Civil War Battlefields |date=1993 |publisher=National Park Service |url=http://npshistory.com/publications/battlefield/cwsac/report.pdf | pages = 16–17 |access-date=17 February 2020}}
