Civil War camp response
I think the preservation of the camp sites are critical to the history of America. The Civil War determined the outcome of present day America. The men that fought in the battle deserve the respect for serving the country. It's wrong to build on top of the camp sites of the many men who gave thier lives to continue the unification of the country. When they are built upon, they are "... forgotten" and we are depreciating the value of the past. I find it amazing that the camp's orderly rows of hut and tene sites are still visible as depressions especially since it was over 100 years ago! In order for Americans to remember the history of the country, all the camp sites should be preserved as places to study.

That's true, historical sites should not be built upon. By preserving these sites, we are respecting those soldiers that fought for their lives and that helped unify America.
You are right! The men who fought in the Civil War deserve to be acknowledged. All camp sites should be preserved, to help teach our generation and others. The camps shouldn't be forgotten.
Exactly! The camps are where the soldiers lived and much of them died. Why not dedicate this place to the soldiers? These are the people who changed the course of history and should be remembered for it.
