@samdogdamndog2 Only part of the original wall is standing the rest was rebuilt. the part thats still there is where the dirt is up to the top where the wall is holding it from the road so the area where the wall is like how it is in the vid is rebuilt. Acctually the whole wall had dirt up to the top back then.

@ps3beast00 Over 100,000 Americans died in and around that town, in the battles of Chancellorsville, Spotsylvania Courthouse, the Wilderness, and Fredericksburg itself. More than twice as many Americans died there as died in twenty years of fighting in Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan combined. There is nothing "best" about that. When you grow up on the edge of the mass grave that is that area as I did, you do not see it as so glorious an event, more like an inhuman slaughter on both sides.

@lifesupportsystem But the stone wall still stands. I walked it as a boy, and it is still there. The Heights where Lee's cannons destroyed the Union field below are now a massive Union graveyard...a couple miles further on and the real battlefields are relatively untouched...a national park. It is true however, that the housing tracts are built right up to the edges of the sacred ground. I had trench lines running behind my home as a boy, now it is all gone...developed beyond recognition.
