We Can Stop Wal-Mart at the Wilderness

Civil War Generals Grant and Lee don't agree on much, but they agree that Wal-Mart shouldn't be allowed to build a supercenter at the Wilderness Battlefield in Virginia.

There should not be any type of Wal-Mart in or about "a National Zoned Area" of any kind in any state. Does Wal-Mart care about the heritage of a country or just money ???

This is where it all starts,first a Walmart, then a Kohl's, then a Target,then a Best buy,then a massive chain of resturaunts!Next thing you know 200,000 houses are built,but no improvements to the roads that are made to carry little traffic.Traffic jams,crime,polluttion,higher taxes!Welcome to the country,that now is outgrown itself thanks to Walmart!No matter where you try to out run spraw it always seems to find you,and it always starts with just one store!I say fuck no to this Walmart!

@1stSpacer - A thorough legal examination is needed to prove or disprove claims of following what the founder, his wife, and his brother began with improvements such as Management by Walking Around, Servant Leadership, and the Global Ethics Office with the current chairman of the board of directors. Will accusations against the vice chairman of the board of directors who "retired" in 2005 be legitimate? Search this, Sam's Club 6625 + Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Gather all information by and from their connections that are direct, indirect, formal, and informal with all industries and associations, politicians, out of court settlements, court decisions, ... to do a comparison and contrast their critics to ensure credible information to make moderate laws that protect the interests of employees and employers. All Americans need to become proactive in addition to complaints. The adversarial approach has not proven to bring positive results. Give a Damn!

The battlefield is already mostly destroyed, Wal-Mart would of destroyed it to completion. Thank God they stepped back, but the next thing you know they are going to want to build one at Antietam or Gettysburg.

ILL BE DAMED IF I LET WAL-MART PUT A FKIN SUPERCENTER ONT EH BATTLEFIELD OF THE WILDERNESS

The preservationist won, or wal-mart made the right decision and stepped away from it's plans last night. I live in Orange and am not completely anti-Walmart, but I am pro-preservation in this case. (I'm not pro Walmart either, and am most definitely anti-Chinese / pro-USA) I would be less opposed to a Walmart in a different location within Orange. Congratulations to the history coalition on their success. The winners are historians, future U.S. Americans, and really, all U.S. Americans

when it comes to preserving our history, civil war included, i take it seriously.

[haynes1776]

I dont approve of Wal-mart just building a store  at the wilderness battlefield at all. This video shows that people dont want it there. the coporate leaders of Walmart think that they can just build anywhere they want without written consent from the surrounding neighborhoods. Its better than not doing anything about preserving our civil war sites. Build it somewhere else!

This video is embarrassingly bad. It WILL NOT help stop WAL-MART. Start taking preservation seriously and quit trivializing it was this type of nonsense.

I was shocked to hear this. Wal-Mart Wanting to build one a site where my great great great grandfather was slain along with many other Americans. How can Wal-Mart Fly an American flag on the roof of there stores and still be so greedy?
