If we are going to keep changing history, people need to learn and understand it first. Antietam was the catalyst that finally brought upon the Emancipation Proclamation and the victory that Lincoln wanted before taking action. There was no question in 1862 that it was a Union victory and is only in question because people want to change names.

Has anyone really considered the economic impact of this? Changes to maps, stationery, signage, just to mention some.

Did you hear Sir about the Wisconsin senator that wants Ft. Bragg named after the Confederate General’s brother Edward who was a Union general? Sure it won’t happen but will save money.

How does this "change history?" Did it get erased from historical records? Books? No. So people can still learn about it. If people are learning history from statues or base names, we have bigger issues.

The Antietam which is the only thing I posted this to comment about is a ship and obviously nothing is teaching you anything about history.

Hey Byron - way to block me so you can join the rest in your echo chamber. "Realistically" I have never trolled anyone as you accused me. You, and like minded, just don't like people who disagree with you.
The article isn't just about Antietam. And you said history is being erased with renaming things. But it's not.
You're just a man child like many others on this forum who can't handle when people disagree or call out your bs. So keep me blocked. I can still reply. You just look ignorant af.
