RE: "KKK group given permit to hold event at Gettysburg battlefield"
The problem comes with the usual phrase that there were 50,000 casualties. In military terms, a casualty is not simply someone who dies; it also includes someone who is wounded or otherwise not available when the roll is called. I've always heard about 3,000 or so Union soldiers killed and around the same number if not a few more Confederates.
