Its not on the battlefield. I appreciate concerns about preserving the CW battlefields, having visited almost all of them in the ‘eastern theater’ including the Wilderness/Fredreicksburg/Chancellorsville location...but that Wal Mart means JOBS in a area that sorely needs them.

I can understand that the official battlefield frequently does not cover the entire area over which the battle occurred. There were likely a number of skirmishes that took place all around that we consider the Wilderness Battlefield. But, more often than not, the official reason for opposing a WalMart is little more than an excuse for forcing the land owners to not use their land as they wish.

I don’t know that you can find ANY area in Northern Virginia that didn’t have a ‘skirmish’.
