Title 16 › Chapter CHAPTER 1— - NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER LX— - NATIONAL MILITARY PARKS › § 430v
When the national battlefield park is set up, the Secretary of the Interior must allow monuments and memorials for people and groups from both the Union and Confederate armies, as long as the Secretary gives written approval of where they go and how they look. The Secretary must make rules to care for and protect the park. Anyone who breaks those rules can be fined up to $500, jailed for up to six months, or both. The Secretary must also find and mark the march route from Chattanooga, Tennessee, through Georgia, and mark main battle lines, breastworks, forts, and other historic features along that route and keep those markers in place when practical.
