The Wisconsin Bragg, Edward S. Bragg, definitely established a good war record for himself, as you have been reading in the last posts, so I'd be in favor of renaming Fort Bragg, North Carolina, from being for Confederate General Braxton Bragg to being for the Union General Bragg.
It would certainly save a whole lot of money and would accomplish the "Woke" folks' desire to continue with their Confederadication.

From the September Richmond.com "VCU board of visitors votes to remove names of Confederate supporters from its campus" by Eric Kolenich.
Virgina Commonwealth University will be removing 16 building names, plaques and other Confederate symbols. Big surprise, the school is in that Richmond city.
This move will erase the names of Ginter Hall and Dooley Hospital from a spot where a Dooley Hospital once existed.
James Dooley left his home and surrounding grounds to the city of Richmond, served in the Virginia General Assembly and helped oversee railroad construction across the country. His crime was that he was a Confederate soldier.
Lewis Ginter owned part of the land that is now Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and hired the architects who built the Jefferson Hotel. When he died, he left substantial gifts to charities and public institutions. His crime? He was an officer in the Confederate Army.

From the September 3, 2020, Austin (Texas) Statesman "Herman: Battle brewing over marker at former Confederate Woman's Home, Opinion" by Ken Herman.
These days nothing having to do with the former Confederacy is safe from efforts of Confederadication. And that even stretches to homes built to aide Confederate widows in need. One such home was built in Austin, Texas. A historical marker was erected at the site which gave its history. But now that marker has been covered up and the owners want it changed to reflect how bad the Confederacy was or removed altogether.
The marker was put up by the Texas Historical Commission at the request of the owners at the former Confederate Woman's Home at 3710 Cedar Street in Austin.
This is what the offending sign said:
"TEXAS CONFEDERATE WOMAN'S HOME
The Texas Confederate Woman's Home opened in 1908 and provided a home for over 3,000 wives and widows of former Confederate veterans. Potential residents were wives, or widows of honorably discharged Confederate soldiers, women who could prove active participation in the Confederate war effort, and women over 60 years of age or older without a means of support.
