There's nothing wrong with naming a military base after a dead Confederate soldier, "This is the guy we conquered 155 years ago." I think the same thing when I see other Civil War monuments in the Southern U.S. to this day. It's history. Whichever side of the war they were on, it's all part of our unique American heritage. Don't throw it away.
The Confederate plantation owners were slavers up until the Emancipation Proclamation; now the same farms employ Hispanics rather than blacks, but it's the same thing, because the Fed brags up our "non-farm payroll" economy while all our farms and plantations continue to employ slave labor and illegal migrant labor (on an under-the-table contract basis) to this day.
The Union was corrupt as well with the Chicago Mob, Al Capone and his underbosses, the railroad unions, the carpetbaggers, put all that together, they were just as evil as the Southern slavers.
