A Confederate Redoubt (U.S. Civil War) "A Confederate Redoubt" is a military fortification structure, typically an earthen fort or entrenchment, constructed during the U.S. Civil War by Confederate forces for defensive purposes. These redoubts were strategically placed to protect the Confederacy's lines of communication and provide cover for troops in battle. They consist of a series of earthworks, often with bastions at the corners for added defense. The design and placement of these redoubts varied based on terrain and tactical requirements. Notable examples include the redoubts at the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania and the Battle of Vicksburg in Mississippi. These structures played a significant role in the Civil War's military strategy, offering protection against enemy attacks while providing a platform for counter-offensives.
