Fort Bragg name not going anywhere as Army resists Confederate name changes


    August 11, 2017

North Carolina has a stake in the U.S. Army’s decision this week to resist changing the names of two streets at Fort Hamilton, N.Y., because they honor Confederate generals.

Fort Bragg, about 55 miles south of Raleigh, is also named after a Confederate general, Braxton Bragg and it could have faced challenges had the Army decided otherwise. (Bragg was born in Warrenton.)

Two streets at Fort Hamilton are named after Confederate figures: Robert E. Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson
