"We want to get away from the traditional descriptions of who shot whom, where and into discussions of why they were shooting one another,"

Look, you don't have to be on either side of the FR north vs. south wars to know that battlefields should be about the battles, and not about anyone's interpretation of history.

Semi-unreconstructed Southron bump. You nailed it. I've been to Manassas, Gettysburg, Chattanooga/Chickamauga, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, Petersburg, and Richmond National Battlefields. Going to any one of them is a profoundly moving experience when you think about the valor of the thousands on both sides, the bravery, the suffering, the brilliance and the stupidity. Political correctness has no place on hallowed ground.
