He should be a tiger who acknowledges white privilege, toxic masculinity, and Amerikkka's war against the world's people of color

It is clear that he is referring to the fact that the CSA named battlefields in regards to nearby towns, buildings or rail junctions, whereas the Union commanders generally referred to battlefield locations by their nearest geographic feature.

This is why Bull Run 1 and 2 (Union name for these battles) is also referred to as 1st/2nd Manassas (Confederate name for the battles).

Bull Run is a creek, Manassas is the rail junction.

See also Sharpsburg (Confederate name) vs. Antietam (Union name). Same idea as noted above.


OleWarSkuleAlum is correct, if it was all "very Confederate themed" then the street would be called MANASSAS, not BULL RUN.

He’s saying that if the neighborhood were confederate sympathizers the street would be called Manassas instead of Bull Run.

It’s amazing how ignorant the vast majority of the public is.

Is it time for my iconic Gardere in the '80s story yet?

It's been awhile...
