Is Shackel's description of the John Brown Fort as a civil war memorial correct? It was certainly an abolitionist monument and occured around the same time but the even was two years too early for it to have occured during the civil war and, aside from being a rallying point for northern troops, wasn't a important place during the war.

| + | On pg 107, I find the comment by Virginia H. Sollers-Hoffmaster of the UDC very amusing. She comments that she is outraged that the monument dedicated to Heyward Shepherd is covered at that moment in time and how questioned how long it would take historians to realize they couldn't simply rewrite history (referring to the argument of what should be done with the Monument), however the monument itself was essentially an attempt to rewrite history by the Confederate veterans societies by trying to cast slavery in the south in a different light than what it was truly like.
