This is beside the point of course, but I just want to point out that while I do think renaming facilities that were named after confederate soldiers is overall a good idea, in Bragg's case they should have made an exception. Through incompetence, he accomplished more for the union than for the confederacy.

Kinda like the Finns calling their fire bottles "Molotov Cocktails" as a jab at Ambassador Vyacheslav Molotov.
