Fort Stonewall was a fort built by the state of Alabama in 1862 in present-day Clarke County, Alabama, during the American Civil War. Fort Stonewall was constructed on the Alabama River by enslaved Africans to protect the interior of Alabama in the event that Mobile was captured by Union forces.[2] Additional forts were concurrently constructed to defend against Union advances up the Tombigbee River and to protect nearby salt works. The fort never saw any military action and was destroyed at the close of the American Civil War. Earthworks and a cannon are all that exist at the site today, which is located on private property.
