Do you have a reference for that?
Fort Myer in Virginia and the former Fort McClellan in Alabama would have been exceptions.
“This was not a squirmnish between states, it was an attack on the US, by treasonous states.”
Beyond hopeless.
Fort Campbell (KY/TN) is named for William Bowen Campbell, former TN governor who opposed secession, who was very briefly a Union general during the War.

No specifics. If I remember correctly It was part of a deal worked out in congress as part of legislation to return captured Confederate battle flags to their respective states. It may have been no more that a gentleman’s agreement, not formal part of the legislation.

Some reconciliation, the Feds breathing down our backs again.
No reference. The practice was discussed as part of legislation to return captured Confederate Battle flags to the their states. Myers near Arlington cemetery started as a Union fort built as part of the defenses of Washington DC. Ft. Eustis in Virginia was named for an Army officer that died in the 1840s. Ft McClellan was established during the first World War. But generally speaking Army posts in the old Confederacy are named for Officers of the Confederate Army.
Copperheads were great people. No apology needed.
You want to find a source for that, before I call BS ? I did a google search for that quote and got ZERO hits. So quit it.
Hey you know how many ex Confederates were tried for treason after the war?
Appomattox is the saddest most dreary place I’ve ever been to. I went once, never again.
Another part of that, is that those officers were generally from the states that the army posts were established in.
Gordon was from Georg1a. Bragg from North Carolina. Lee, A.P. Hill, Picket, all from Virginia.
Now that's funny.
Lincoln was a bloody butcher tyrant.
As an alternative how about a holiday celebrating the end of the Soviet Union? It would drive liberals absolutely nuts.
The Soviet Union officially ended on Christmas Day, the 25th of December 1991. Importantly, the Gregorian, or western Christmas Day, not the Orthodox Christmas Day of the 7th of January.
Thus Christmas Day can also be a secular American holiday, “Ronald Reagan Day, The End of the Soviet Union Day.”
Are you saying that Confederate states were worse than Nazis?
I certainly hope not.
“Fake - but accurate” LOL
