Stonewall Jackson and Barbara Fritchie debate in Frederick
Sean Adams argues against a Carroll Creek statue of Confederate General Thomas J. Jackson and his troops, urging commemorations for Barbara Fritchie instead. He cites historical accounts denying a meeting between Jackson and Fritchie in Frederick, notes Jackson's Civil War achievements, and emphasizes memorials in Virginia and Maryland while urging preservation of fact over legend.
