Battlefield Parks & Monuments

[Dr Meat]

We need an addition post Civil War to turn our battlefields into National Parks. We ought to be able to place monuments (selected and assembled from parts like our Corps were) in areas we fought on and create cemeteries and a visitor center with battlefield roads. All of these need resources. We need to fight again on the same fields to prevent economic development over the next 150 years. I don't know what our source of funding could be but it would make for an interesting addinion to the game.

Roller coaster tycoon spinoff! I did like the small feature in the Total War series that would mark the map with the date and sites of epic victories you had.

In the real world,  you can join associations like "The Civil War Trust."

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
