#2 While we're at it, let's fix *all* the names. Fort Wayne in Detroit was named after Mad Anthony Wayne, famous general and Indian killer. Might as well rename Wayne County, MI, while we're at it. Same deal.

#7 From Rant-U History Department

During World War I, the policy to name new Southern army camps after Confederate commanders was intended to effect a reconciliation between the North and the South, where bruised feelings about the Lost Cause were potent and widespread. The names were chosen, at least in part, to encourage Southern buy-in to the nation’s new war. These names were chosen precisely because the men honored had been Confederate leaders.
