Read the article. Pleased to see the list of battlefields and amounts allocated. Fredericksburg is getting the lion's share of the funds to VA. Wonder what other states and battlefields got funds?

Would of it had better to use private funds to do this than spend tax payers money?
 
This good news as the sites receiving the grants appear to be all the site that the Civil War Trust has been campaigning for over the past 18 months.
