How About Renaming Fort Bragg After the Union General Bragg?

From the May 20, 2021, Fayetteville (NC) Observer  Wisconsin senator proposes  renaming Fort Bragg after  Union cousin of Confederate general" by Rachel Riley.

Wisconsin state senator  Dale Kooyenga, R-Brookfield,  announced his resolution  that proposes renaming Fort Bragg after Braxton Bragg's cousin, Union General  Edward Stuyvesant Bragg, of Wisconsin.

The senator said that a friend told him about this Bragg and that he didn't know about him before.  he also had been in the Army and stationed at Fort Bragg.

I know a fair amount about the Civil War but had never heard of Edward S. Bragg.  Good old Wikipedia here I come.

Fayetteville, North Carolina,  is where Fort Bragg is located.

Think about how much money can be saved by renaming the fort after the Union Bragg?
