Description

Fort Pickett in Virginia was named for Maj. Gen. George Edward Pickett, CSA. Is this a good idea? Pickett was a traitor who led troops against the United States in a civil war that took the lives of 750,000 Americans. The war was fought to preserve the rights of people to own other people, the abomination of chattel slavery. I am a distant relative of Pickett and feel a special responsibility to answer this question.
