Data centres near Civil War landmarks spark controversy
Plans to build data centres close to historic Civil War sites are drawing sharp criticism. Locals fear these facilities could ruin the views and erase lessons tied to American history.
The issue started when proposals placed data hubs near protected areas, angering historians and preservationists. 
Bart Wheeler, a living historian who operates a cannon at the site, told the BBC the conflict is real and unresolved.
"Do I want to see a data centre on the view line of this park? No, I do not. But do I recognise, since I worked in IT, that they’re necessary? Yeah, I can get that. So there is no easy answer," Bart Wheeler explained.
"Any interested citizen has to be worried."
No official response has emerged yet. Community members remain watchful for next steps.
