US Military Posts named for Confederate generals

[J. Beckert]

I agree, Laurie. After reading that, I feel this "reporter" should find another job. He's not very good at the one he has. The most egregious comments were these - "Yes — the United States Army maintains bases named after generals who led soldiers who fought and killed United States Army soldiers". And this one - " The idea that “now, we are all Americans” served to whitewash the actions of the rebels."

ALL the soldiers who fought in that war were Americans. If Lincoln, after presiding over the entire conflict, had the attitude that it was time to "let them up easy", and in regard to capturing Rebel leaders said sometimes it's best when you have an elephant by the tail and he's trying to get away, it's best to let him run, this genius should stop putting a 21st. century liberal spin on 19th. century events.
