LOL... do you really think the generals looked over the map, pointed their finger on some coordinates and said "Hey, this looks like a *great* place for a National Park someday! Let's fight here, and y'know, we can leave room for six or seven big granite monuments and a couple plugged cannons!"
Hmmm... no, probably not. I think the NPS decided to honor the war dead with a quiet resting place after the fact, don't you?

This is a conspiracy by the Masons planned since the Revolution. They needed ways to put more monuments around the nation to mask their ingenious plan to dominate the nation and take over the world. BTW, an amazing secret lies beneath the seventh tomb from the east in the seventh row from the north in every Civil War battlefield. ;-)

The reason for this is the Wars were fought first. And the American Govement then came in and made the parks so that people could see where they took place.
