No — they will leave Gettysburg alone since that is where the North stomped the South. The Left likes that one. The others? Not so sure.

There are many monuments there erected by Southern States for their honored dead.

The evil bastards would destroy this memory.
The information from the marker at the Angle may not be accurate.The 26th may not have been in front of Onley’s gun, but rather some ways to the north, in front of the 12th New Jersey. The 26th’s final color bearer of the day, accompanied by a sergeant, carried the 26th’s colors up the slope to the stone wall defended by the Jerseymen, who in respect for their courage held their fire and helped them to safety over the wall.

Since then a dispute has raged between partisans of North Carolina and Virginia over whose charge went farthest on July 3rd. There will probably never be an answer, if one is really needed. But one fact is without question – no regiment on either side at Gettysburg suffered more casualties than the 26th North Carolina.
