All quadrants At the outset of the Civil War in 1861, Washington became a critical target for rebel attacks but was virtually without protection. The Union Army hastily began construction of a fortified defense line around the city, the physical remnants of which encompass these 19 earthwork forts, including Battery Kemble, Fort Bayard, Fort Reno, and Fort DeRussy.[4] See also National Register listings in central D.C., upper NW D.C., NE D.C., SE D.C., Prince George's County, Maryland, and Fairfax County, Virginia.
