U.S. Army Bases Named After Confederates
This is a
list of major U.S. Army bases located in the South with names derived from the Confederacy of Slavers. The U.S. government, through Keynesian
methods, sends billions of dollars into the South to prop up their economies. The South is also the most ‘militaristic’ part
of the country, which makes their placement logical. These bases are
named after Confederate generals – who to the U.S. military are objectively traitors. Supposedly the U.S. military is now thinking of
changing the names. But this will not change the bases' essential nature - now globalizing 'Indian" wars and propping up wage slavery.

| Notorious Fort Benning, Georgia |
1. Fort Lee (Virginia)
– Named after the most successful Confederate general and slave-owner Robert E.
Lee, who still lost the key battles of Antietam, Gettysburg and the war.
2. Fort Bragg (North Carolina) – Named after Confederate
general Braxton Bragg, who lost every battle and campaign he fought in except
Chickamaugua – that with help from General Longstreet.
3. Fort Benning (Georgia) – Named after secessionist
and Confederate general Henry Benning, who fought under Longstreet and
Lee. He later became a leader of the
Georgia Ku Klux Klan. Fort Benning
is also home to ‘The School of Americas’ where the U.S. teaches
fascists, torturers, dictators and killers from the Central and South American
militaries.
4. Fort Pickett (Virginia) – Named after
Confederate general George Pickett, who to his credit resisted Lee’s order to
charge on the 3rd day of Gettysburg and never owned slaves, though like
so many he was born on a plantation.
5. Fort Gordon (Georgia) – Named after Confederate
general and slaveholder John B. Gordon, who fought under Lee. Gordon became a virulent anti-Reconstruction
senator from Georgia.
6. Fort Stewart (Georgia) –Is NOT named after
Confederate cavalry general J.E.B. Stewart but for Daniel Stewart, a revolutionary
war leader.
7. Fort Polk (Louisiana)
– Named after Confederate general Leonidas Polk, an Episcopal bishop who lost
nearly every battle he fought in and was killed when a cannon ball almost cut
him in two on Pine Mountain,
Georgia. His original idiocy in occupying Columbus, Kentucky with
Confederate soldiers forced the Kentucky
legislature (which was ‘neutral’) to request assistance from the U.S. Army.
8. Fort Jackson (South Carolina) – Is NOT named after Confederate general Stonewall
Jackson but Andrew Jackson, former president and slave-owner. As a soldier Jackson fought against native Seminoles and
Creeks and later organized the criminal Cherokee ‘Trail of Tears.’ He opposed abolitionism as president, which should not be a surprise.
9. Fort Hood (Texas)
– Named after overly-aggressive Confederate general John B. Hood who lost the
battles of Nashville, Franklin
and Atlanta
with all the fire-breathing gusto he could muster.
10. Fort A.P. Hill (Virginia) – Named
after Confederate general and slave-owner Ambrose Powell Hill, who fought under
Lee and died at the battle of Petersburg.
11. Camp Beauregard (Louisiana) – Named after Confederate general
and plantation owner P.G.T. Beauregard.
He lost nearly every battle he fought after starting the war by shelling
Fort Sumter and succeeding at First Bull Run. He developed the Confederate ‘battle flag’
now beloved by white supremacists and good ‘ol boys everywhere. However after the war he advocated
African-Americans be allowed to vote.
12. Camp Pendleton (Virginia) – Named after Confederate artillery
general and Episcopal priest William Pendleton who fought under Lee. Pendleton
became a prime peddler of the “Lost Cause,” lying and blaming Longstreet for
Lee’s defeat at Gettysburg.
13. Fort Rucker
(Alabama) – Named after
Confederate colonel Edmund Rucker who fought under notorious KKK founder and
Confederate cavalry general Nathan Bedford Forrest. Forrest got him back in a prisoner exchange
and they later worked together. Rucker
became a Birmingham, Alabama industrialist and a beneficiary of
Jim Crow’s incarcerated labor system.
14. Camp Maxey
(Texas) – Named after Confederate general and secessionist
Samuel Maxey, who was an officer in the Confederate cabinet and later became a Texas senator after
being pardoned … perhaps not such a jump.
5 other U.S. military bases named after Confederate
generals – Van Dorn (Mississippi),
Breckenridge (Kentucky), Forrest (Tennessee), Wheeler (Georgia) and Pike (Arkansas) have been closed.
