Did you go to New Market? Thats one of my favorites. Its a battlefield site on a farm with orchards. The farm house and orchards are still there. The property is owned by VMI and they have kept it unchanged since the war, except for repairs to the house. The only addition is a museum called the Hall of Valor. The Battle of New Market was fought between VMI cadets and Union army regulars who were led by a tough Prussian commander. You can walk through orchards where the cadets made their stand, then up a little knoll that they charged where the Union artillery units were. The lads from VMI sent them howling into the wilderness! I'll bet the Union and Prussian officers never lived that down. it's just as important for them to know of Margaret Sanger. Yes, I agree. They should be told of the Eugenics Society that Sanger belonged to. And they should be shown copies of their books, which preached euthanasia of dark-skinned people and "simple" people. Its apparent to anyone who has seen those books from the 20s and 30s that the National Socialists cribbed directly from them.
