Before hitting on some of the points raised, I want to be clear about where I'm coming from. I am a proud Southerner with a family drenched in East TN/Western NC history since their initial settlement and in VA before that. I had three of four G-Grandfathers who fought for the Confederacy. As I wrote earlier, I am totally against the wholesale erasure of Confederate symbols. I want future generations to know our history, warts and all-from the settlement of the American West to the internment of US citizens of Japanese descent. I want my grandchildren to ask questions. However, I know that neither I nor my grandchildren will never see the the Confederate Battle flag in the same way as my African-American neighbor or his grandchildren will.
Do you really want to analogize book burning with changing the name on a building in the US in 2020? Heinrich Heine's (Heinie was pejorative term referring to Germans during WW I) books were among the most famously books burned in public displays in Nazi Germany.
I'll let you research Braxton Bragg. Even if he were the most brilliant military tactician in history--which he was not--he was a traitor and in the elite leadership of a rebellion against the United States. And he lost, as did all of his other colleagues. How many soldiers passed through the gates of Ft. Bragg and died on the battlefield during its history, which didn't even begin until 50 years after the Civil War. They were fighting for not against the United States. There is no one more deserving of the honour?
Well, I'm sure that right about now to my DS, who is there as we speak in the middle of Level C SERE school, doesn't care. But, give him a good night's sleep, 4000 calories and about three minutes to think about it, he'd call it absolutely ludicrous. His first cousin Braxton would agree.
