The Northern California city of Fort Bragg, California, will remain named after a Confederate general after local leaders could not reach consensus after a public participation process, with many locals wishing to keep the name for historic reasons.

Those that deny history are doomed to relive it. Wonder which side wins this time.
Maybe Cancel Culture will be coming for Orange County, Calif., where I live, which was named after Orange County, Va. due to the efforts of Confederate sympathizers.
I think it is one of the few beachs north of SF until Eureka. You just come down on it via rt 1 and it looks like a beach town with fog everywhere in the summer. Humbolt current flows south in CA.
Keep the name because OUR SOLDIERS have it in their papers.
Wow a cancel culture loss
a rare thing these days
Yes. It’s a popular weekend getaway spot for folks in the Sacramento Valley.. also a honeymoon destination.
I highly recommend riding the old skunk train if anyone finds themselves in Fort Bragg. That’s if the commies haven’t managed to shut it down by now.
A small outpost named Fort Bragg was established in 1857. The army officer that established the post, named it for Captain Braxton Bragg whom he had served under in the War with Mexico.
At the time Colonel Bragg had resigned his commission in the U.S. Army and was growing sugar in Louisiana
And refreshing!
I believe the photo above is Bragg’s official portrait from the Mexican-American War.
His record fighting in the West for the Confederacy was less than stellar.
Interesting, I didn’t even realize there was a town named “Fort Bragg”. I’m actually somewhat surprised Braxton Bragg, Henry Benning, and John Bell Hood have gotten to keep their base names to tell you the truth. With the Army being as woke as it us under Milley, I would have sworn they would have been replaced by now.
He did win the Battle of Chickamauga, which ultimately helped the Union as it brought Grant into the theater.
He nearly destroyed his army in the process. It was at a time when the South could not afford to take such heavy casualties.
You can bet it won’t keep the name long, the tyrants will say, “the hell with a legal process” and just change it on their own.
Bragg was a bit of a loser. I wonder if naming places at that time wasn’t a bit tongue-in-cheek?
‘Fort Bragg’ got it’s name before the Civil War... 1857.
Nimrata Randhawa started this ball rolling.
She doesn’t care about our history because it is not her history.
There were very good reasons for the founders to exclude the children of foreigners from being President with the natural born citizen clause.
A waste if time, effort, energy, and money. It’s what the left does.
Right! The war of exhaustion reined supreme. I loved learning about the Overland Campaign. The South was brilliant in each of the three battles - Anderson racing the Union to occupy the high ground in the Wilderness was riveting. But the South just could not compensate for the loss of men and matériel.
Of course the Japanese had the same issue in WW2.
