4. Civil War monument
but I'm not sure of the battlefield. From the topography, I'd say Shiloh or Gettysburg, but it could be a lot of other places as well.

7. Gettysburg?
I have yet to visit, but if I am bot mistaken I believe it was one of the Minnesota Regiments that sustained the highest casualty rate in that battle.

Kind of an odd thing really, the odd numbered MN regiments usually got mauled and the even numbered ones got through relatively intact--over the course of the war, that is.
