The civil war was one of the best and worst of times for our country. After going through the division, our country became stronger than ever before. Though it’s been many years since the war has been over, it seems that some battles will still rage on. One in particular is the fight over a planned casino that will be close to the sacred grounds where so many Americans died.
Supporters of the new casino say that it will bring much needed jobs to the area. It will also provide needed taxes and draw tourists to the area. Despite these benefits, many believe that building a casino so close to the park will cheapen the sacrifice that thousands of Americans made to their country. I guess the people of Pennsylvania will have to decide what they want.
