I need some assistance for a project in English.

Are there any Civil War Trails or similar era roads that have been replaced by current state routes, US Routes, or Interstates?

Thank you for any assistance.

Quite a few. Arkansas has a number of historic routes including Trail of Tears, Butterfield Trail, Civil War Trail.

Louisiana has Grant's March which follows US 80 from Delta, LA to Tallulah, then south on US 65 and other roads.

There's also Trail of Tears in Missouri which runs Seligman-Monett-Springfield-St James and points east.

Could they be earlier? Or just in that time period (1860s)?

I would like the time period of the 1860's but any earlier ones are appreciated. I enjoy learning about colonial roads.

Directly related to the Civil War, look up the Warrenton Pike in Virginia, which eventually became today's US 29.

I have also seen present-day U.S. 29 referred to as the Alexandria Turnpike and Warrenton-Alexandria Turnpike.
