With two railroads and a nearby canal system, Harpers Ferry became an important manufacturing center. The town was strategically important at the outbreak of the war for both the Union and Confederate armies. Harpers Ferry was the home of 3,400 citizens, hailing equally from the North and South. In less than six months after the outbreak of hostilities, there were only about one hundred citizens, who would continue to call the town their home.
