are named after particularly inept confederate commanders. Reason alone to change the names.
Pickett - famous for a failed charge and was subsequently absent from command during the confederate rout at Five Forks, the battle which broke the back of Lee's Army.
Bragg - laid siege to Union troops in Chattanooga only to have his line overwhelmed by Grant's army despite an enormous advantage in terrain.
Hood - reckless and dumb. Lost Atlanta and then wrecked his army at Franklin during an ill advised charge.
Poor Longstreet. One of Lee's most competetent commander is barely memorialized anywhere in the south because he cooperated with the reconstruction.
