"What kind of PC stuff do they have at Antietam?"
If memory serves (Miss Mander can correct me if I'm in error) they have removed most (if not all) of the Confederate statues. Only Union memorials remain.
Further, they have changed the perspective of the narratives by referring to Confederate soldiers as "the enemy" rather than maintaining the autonomy of both Union and Confederate Armies.
The men who fought for the Confederacy were Americans in every sense of the word. It's an example of the winners writing the history.
