Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed to restore the name of a U.S. Army base in North Carolina to that of a Confederate general, the Raleigh News & Observer reported.

At a North Carolina GOP convention on Friday, DeSantis said that if elected president, he would change the name of the newly christened Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg.


Braxton Bragg was considered one of the least successful Confederate generals, leading the rebel army to a major defeat at Chattanooga in 1863. A 2016 book by Earl Hess was titled, “Braxton Bragg: The Most Hated Man of the Confederacy.”

Fort Bragg was named after him in 1918, one of multiple army bases in the South named after Confederate generals during the Jim Crow era.
