One of the better resources on the website for the Civil War Preservation Trust are the very interesting, 
informative, and entertaining animated battle maps. Rather than just show the course of a battle through static maps, these flash-based animations such as Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville show highly detailed troop movements while providing all the information necessary to explain the battles. These maps are very useful for visually understanding the course of a battle.
Other maps include Chantilly, Cedar Creek, and Bentonville. All are worth a look.

Very good article, very usefull!!
Given the demand for learner differentiation,the animated battles site sponsored by the Civil War Preservation Trust is an effective tool. Visual learners can follow the sequence of the battle of Chancellorsville. In addition, the students can view the battle from a topographical and aerial view. Sometimes battle maps can be too”busy,” but this is not. Check it out.
