Visited Gettysburg (oh, maybe 30+ years ago or so). Spent a couple of days. What struck me is how ALL of the monuments are ONLY for the north. It is almost like the north was battling a phantom. It’s only when you go south into North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia... that you find any monuments for the southern soldiers. Of course, by now, I’m sure that has been erased by antifa/blm/colleges, fed gov... If you are looking for history, all you are going to find is “propaganda”

I’ve been to Gettysburg battlefield many times. There are numerous Confederate monuments there. You just have to follow the road on the western side of the battlefield, where the majority of Lee’s units were deployed.

Completely incorrect. The Confederacy monuments are where the Confederacy was....primarily facing the North. However, there is a nice monument to General Armistead, right where he was shot, in the middle of the Northern defenses.

Hard to believe he got that far (some say high water mark for Confederacy).

The best CW place to visit imo.
