Throughout the Civil War, the mountain passes and roads between Tennessee and North Carolina were vital for the movement of troops and supplies. None were more important than the Buncombe Turnpike built in 1828 that ran through the mountains at Warm Springs, North Carolina. This area would see many conflicts throughout the war, with both sides trying to gain control of the area.<\/p>\n

The Civil War in Madison County, North Carolina<\/strong>
\nBecause Madison County was a \u201cborder county\u201d in a \u201cborder state\u201d during the Civil War, there are many examples of communities as well as families divided in their allegiances. There were no major battles in Madison County although both armies moved through the area and Madison County furnished troops for both sides. A few skirmishes were fought within the County: one at Cuffey Field on Spring Creek and a second on the hotel grounds at Warm Springs (the former name of the town of Hot Springs). Each year since 2008, the Hot Springs Resort & Spa has hosted a Civil War re-enactment of that skirmish, the Battle of Warm Springs Reenactment, on the first weekend of November.<\/p>\n
