Wow, a Wal*Mart or preserving a battlefield from the "War of Northern Aggression." This is going to be a tough one for Dixie.

"...a few miles away from the entrance to the battlefield..." "...land that's zoned commercial..."

Non-issue. Just more Wal*Mart bashing.

The name according to the War Department was "The War of the Rebellion".

People get over it. It was fought years ago. The North won. Time to put this behind us and move forward. You don't see "battle grounds" being saved in Europe. If they did, there would be one such place in every corner of the country.
