Title
A name given to the resource
Daughters Preserving Confederate Heritage
Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection explores Confederate monuments, statues, and memorials that were funded by or preserved by the United Daughters of the Confederacy across the United States.<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>Who are the Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and How Did They Form?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The first chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 10, 1894, by Caroline Meriwether Goodlett of Tennessee (Founder) and Lucian H. “Anna Davenport” Raines of Georgia (Co-founder). Women from many “hospital associations, sewing societies, and knitting circles” organized together to help soldiers in the South during the Civil War. After the war, they helped erect cemeteries, memorials, monuments, and associations dedicated to the memory of Confederate soldiers through the Lost Cause ideology. [1]<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>What is the Lost Cause Ideology?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The Lost Cause Ideology is a false claim and representation of the Confederacy as heroic and the Civil War as a war where the South “fought nobly and against all odds not to preserve slavery… [but for] the rights of states to govern themselves.” In other words, the Confederacy is seen in a positive light as just and simply acting in defense “against northern aggression.” [2]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This is the central message the UDC aims to preserve to honor their Confederate ancestors. [1]<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>The UDC’s Impact:</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The organization currently has 41 chapters and divisions in the United States from New York to California. [3] To become a member of the organization, eligibility includes proof of lineage to “men and women who served honorably in the Army, Navy, or Civil Service of the Confederate States of America, or who gave Material Aid to the Cause.” [4]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In the 126 years since its formation, the UDC has helped to erect or preserve over 50 memorials and monuments. The UDC also seeks to preserve historical records that pertain to the Civil War (1861-1865), such as rare books, documents, diaries, letters, personal records, and more. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Most recently, the UDC has turned their main objective to preserving Confederate monuments and memorials that were erected by members in the past. In response to much negativity towards the Confederacy, the UDC seeks to teach the historical and lineage connected to these statues.</span></p>
<br /><p><b>More on the Collection: </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection contains five monuments: "Appomattox," "United Confederate Veterans Memorial," "Confederate Memorial Fountain," "The Lookout" and "Silent Sam." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Unlike the other collections surrounding a specific location, this collection shifts the focus to one of the most influential supporters of the Confederate monuments throughout the US. The collection includes various monuments located in unique locations, and, more importantly, set a precedent for other Confederate monuments across the US. Within the collection, you will find one monument once located in Seattle, Washington, an unlikely state to have an UDC chapter. Plus, several monuments that the UDC helped to relocate in response to calls for removal or destruction.</span></p>

Tenneessee Monument to Confederate Women
Description
An account of the resource
The Women's monument was funded by the United Daughters of the Confederacy with the aid of their president Mary Lou Gordan White, the United Confederate Veterans, and approval by the Tennessee government. The idea for the monument came from letters being submitted to the <em>Confederate Veteran</em> wishing for the memorialization of the wives and mothers who supported Confederate soldiers during the war. Confederate women began the process of memorialization after the war to show their love and appreciation to their loved ones who fought for their beliefs. Confederate veterans and daughters of Confederate women saw the opportunity to thank the women who began the memorialization process by, in turn, giving a monument dedicated to them. In 1909, plans for the monument took place. The monument's location was an issue, along with funding such a monument. In 1915 the Tennessee legislature appropriated the funds to erect a monument; the monument would be placed on the grounds of the State Capital in Nashville. A contest began to look for a design. After many submissions, the winner was sculptor Belle Kinney Scholz, the first female competition winner to design and sculpt the monument in 1926. Her Tennessee heritage fit what the United Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy wanted. The plaque on the monument reads: "Erected by the State of Tennessee to commemorate the Heroic Devotion and Self-Sacrifice of the Women of Tennessee During the War Between the States. Dedicated October 10, 1926 Belle Kinney, Sculptor" The Tennessee Historical Commission placed the plaque. October 10, 1926, the Tennessee Monument to Confederate Women was dedicated. The monument is still standing on the Tennessee State Capitol grounds.

Title
A name given to the resource
Monument to Confederate Women, Little Rock, Arkansas
Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The statue is made of bronze, marble and concrete. It is standing on a tall pedestal on the lawn of the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock. The statue depicts a mother, her daughter, young son saying goodbye to her older son who is joining his father into battle. The monument was built to remind future generations of the sacrifice that many southern women had to keep the home front steady.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The Plaque reads:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">“</span><b><i>To The Confederate Women Of Arkansas 1861–1865</i></b></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight:400;">“Whose Pious Ministrations To Our Wounded Soldiers Soothed The Last Hours Of Those Who Died For The Object Of Their Tenderest Love; Whose Domestic Labors Contributed Much To Supply The Wants Of Our Defenders In The Field; Whose Jealous Faith In Our Cause Shone A Guiding Star, Undimmed By The Darkest Clouds Of War; Whose Fortitude Sustained Them Under All The Privations To Which They Were Subjected; And Whose Patriotism Will Teach Their Sons To Emulate The Deeds Of Their Sires.”</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight:400;">This Monument Is Erected By The State Of Arkansas And The Confederate Veterans</span></i><b><i>[1]<br /><br /><br /></i>More about the Artist/Funder/Owner:<br /></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The artist of the monument is J. Otto Schweizer, the original name for the monument is “Mother of the South”. The monument is six tiers tall. The monument is built with bronze, concrete, marble and a granite base. The options for the materials used for the monument, allow for the monument to be casted strongly and have a permanent place on the lawn of the capitol. The United Confederate Veterans began to fundraise money for the statue by writing and publishing a book of Confederate Women of Arkansas first hand accounts during the Civil War. The book is titled “Confederate Women of Arkansas 1861-1865: Memorial Reminiscence. The combination of both the book sales and the contribution of state funds, the monument was able to be purchased.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Monument to the Confederate Women is still standing on the capitol grounds and it is listed a National Historic Place.</span></p>

Title
A name given to the resource
Daughters Preserving Confederate Heritage
Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection explores Confederate monuments, statues, and memorials that were funded by or preserved by the United Daughters of the Confederacy across the United States.<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>Who are the Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and How Did They Form?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The first chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 10, 1894, by Caroline Meriwether Goodlett of Tennessee (Founder) and Lucian H. “Anna Davenport” Raines of Georgia (Co-founder). Women from many “hospital associations, sewing societies, and knitting circles” organized together to help soldiers in the South during the Civil War. After the war, they helped erect cemeteries, memorials, monuments, and associations dedicated to the memory of Confederate soldiers through the Lost Cause ideology. [1]<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>What is the Lost Cause Ideology?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The Lost Cause Ideology is a false claim and representation of the Confederacy as heroic and the Civil War as a war where the South “fought nobly and against all odds not to preserve slavery… [but for] the rights of states to govern themselves.” In other words, the Confederacy is seen in a positive light as just and simply acting in defense “against northern aggression.” [2]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This is the central message the UDC aims to preserve to honor their Confederate ancestors. [1]<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>The UDC’s Impact:</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The organization currently has 41 chapters and divisions in the United States from New York to California. [3] To become a member of the organization, eligibility includes proof of lineage to “men and women who served honorably in the Army, Navy, or Civil Service of the Confederate States of America, or who gave Material Aid to the Cause.” [4]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In the 126 years since its formation, the UDC has helped to erect or preserve over 50 memorials and monuments. The UDC also seeks to preserve historical records that pertain to the Civil War (1861-1865), such as rare books, documents, diaries, letters, personal records, and more. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Most recently, the UDC has turned their main objective to preserving Confederate monuments and memorials that were erected by members in the past. In response to much negativity towards the Confederacy, the UDC seeks to teach the historical and lineage connected to these statues.</span></p>
<br /><p><b>More on the Collection: </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection contains five monuments: "Appomattox," "United Confederate Veterans Memorial," "Confederate Memorial Fountain," "The Lookout" and "Silent Sam." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Unlike the other collections surrounding a specific location, this collection shifts the focus to one of the most influential supporters of the Confederate monuments throughout the US. The collection includes various monuments located in unique locations, and, more importantly, set a precedent for other Confederate monuments across the US. Within the collection, you will find one monument once located in Seattle, Washington, an unlikely state to have an UDC chapter. Plus, several monuments that the UDC helped to relocate in response to calls for removal or destruction.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The 101-year old granite United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) Confederate Memorial Fountain was located on the tallest hill in Hill Park, in Helena, Montana. It resembles a lighthouse, due to Carsley’s inspiration by the Butt-Millett fountain in Washington, DC, a memorial to the victims of the Titanic. [4] It includes two inscriptions: “A Loving Tribute to Our Confederate Soldiers” and “By the Daughters of the Confederacy in Montana, A.D. 1916.” [4] It was the only confederate monument in the northern Rockies and the only one located on public land in the northwest part of the United States for 101 years. It was unveiled on September 6, 1916 and the monument was sponsored by the local United Daughters of the Confederacy chapter. It was made during a time when segregation and Jim Crow were at their peak. Also, the Ku Klux Klan had “resurged in activity and membership nationwide, including in Helena.” [3] </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This monument was the first monument to be removed and replaced after the July 17, 2015 shooting of nine Black Americans at Emanuel African Methodist Epicopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">On August 15, 2017, the American Indian Caucus of Montana’s state legislature called for the removal of the fountain. [3] Despite debates at a City Commission by the public on both sides, it was officially removed on August 18, 2017. The Montana Historical Society was one of the groups pushing the argument to keep the monument because it was part of Helena’s history and not connected to slavery. There were protesters against the removal but did not affect the removal of the fountain. Due to a lack of storage, it was removed to an undisclosed location. [3]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In April 2020, the monument was replaced by a new fountain called the Equity Fountain. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In September 2021, the UDC chapter contacted the Rocky Mountain Confederate Conservation Council with interest in relocating the fountain. The UDC claims they will relocate the fountain to “a location where they are already storing and maintaining a number of other displaced monuments.” The city had not made a decision. [5]</span></p>

A name given to the resource
"The Lookout" Statue
Description
An account of the resource
Captured on a fair-weathered day in Sandusky, Ohio, "The Lookout" statue appears as a massive landmark in a cemetery filled with tiny, white grave markers. The statue sits at the entrance of the cemetery and is likely the first thing visitors see when walking onto the grounds. Created by infamous Confederate sculptor Moses Ezekiel, in 1906; the iron-looking sculpture was erected 4 years later in 1910 and still currently stands. As a piece of federal property, it is maintained by the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration.

Daughters Preserving Confederate Heritage
Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection explores Confederate monuments, statues, and memorials that were funded by or preserved by the United Daughters of the Confederacy across the United States.<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>Who are the Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and How Did They Form?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The first chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 10, 1894, by Caroline Meriwether Goodlett of Tennessee (Founder) and Lucian H. “Anna Davenport” Raines of Georgia (Co-founder). Women from many “hospital associations, sewing societies, and knitting circles” organized together to help soldiers in the South during the Civil War. After the war, they helped erect cemeteries, memorials, monuments, and associations dedicated to the memory of Confederate soldiers through the Lost Cause ideology. [1]<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>What is the Lost Cause Ideology?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The Lost Cause Ideology is a false claim and representation of the Confederacy as heroic and the Civil War as a war where the South “fought nobly and against all odds not to preserve slavery… [but for] the rights of states to govern themselves.” In other words, the Confederacy is seen in a positive light as just and simply acting in defense “against northern aggression.” [2]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This is the central message the UDC aims to preserve to honor their Confederate ancestors. [1]<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>The UDC’s Impact:</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The organization currently has 41 chapters and divisions in the United States from New York to California. [3] To become a member of the organization, eligibility includes proof of lineage to “men and women who served honorably in the Army, Navy, or Civil Service of the Confederate States of America, or who gave Material Aid to the Cause.” [4]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In the 126 years since its formation, the UDC has helped to erect or preserve over 50 memorials and monuments. The UDC also seeks to preserve historical records that pertain to the Civil War (1861-1865), such as rare books, documents, diaries, letters, personal records, and more. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Most recently, the UDC has turned their main objective to preserving Confederate monuments and memorials that were erected by members in the past. In response to much negativity towards the Confederacy, the UDC seeks to teach the historical and lineage connected to these statues.</span></p>
<br /><p><b>More on the Collection: </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection contains five monuments: "Appomattox," "United Confederate Veterans Memorial," "Confederate Memorial Fountain," "The Lookout" and "Silent Sam." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Unlike the other collections surrounding a specific location, this collection shifts the focus to one of the most influential supporters of the Confederate monuments throughout the US. The collection includes various monuments located in unique locations, and, more importantly, set a precedent for other Confederate monuments across the US. Within the collection, you will find one monument once located in Seattle, Washington, an unlikely state to have an UDC chapter. Plus, several monuments that the UDC helped to relocate in response to calls for removal or destruction.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
An iron gate with the words Confederate Soldiers at the top is the entrance to a once Prisoner of War Camp turned cemetery. The Federal Government during the Civil War turned Johnson's Island into a prisoner of war camp, which held thousands of prisoners from 1862 to 1865. Many prisoners passed away due to disease, starvation and maltreatment. Beyond the entrance stands a strong 19 feet tall bronze confederate soldier. The sculptor is titled “The Lookout”, the soldier is gripping his rifle, his other hand up to his forehead over his eyes gazing over the hundreds of confederate soldiers' graves in the cemetery. The sculptor is a representation of how many southern generations watched over and memorializing the lives lost during the civil war. On the base of the statue, the year 1910 is proudly displayed for the date of erection in the cemetery, inscribed on the base of the statue reads <br /><br /><em> “Erected by The Robert Patton Chapter of the United Daughter of the Confederacy of Cincinnati Ohio. In Memory of the Southern Soldiers who died in the Federal Prison on this Island during the war between the States. Dead but Sceptered Sovereigns who still rule us from the dust.”<br /><br /></em><strong><strong>More on Artist/Funder/Owner:<br /></strong></strong>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Moses Jacob Ezekiel was an American born Jewish artist, confederate supporter. He was a proud southerner and contributed/sculpted many works to the Confederate soldiers, contributing to the Lost Cause movement. The Lookout statue is one of his lesser known works. The United Daughter of Confederacy Robert Patton Chapter raised funds by the leadership of Mary Patton Hudson for the sculptor. Her chapter had bought the cemetery from private owners. Once the cemetery became in her possession, she took the responsibility to maintain the cemetery until her death in 1920.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The cemetery is now donated to the United State government. The Lookout Sculptor and cemetery is part of the National Historic Sites and Park.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The Lookout is still standing in the cemetery to this day. </span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
The United Confederate Veterans Memorial was a Confederate memorial located in Lake View Cemetery in Seattle, Washington. The memorial was erected by May Avery Wilkins, the president of the Robert E Lee Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1926. Her father was the Commander in Chief of a Georgia county Ku Klux Klan in the late 19th century. Wilkins was active for decades in the Seattle area and led local efforts to honor Confederate individuals. Thus showing the reach of the organization to states outside of the South. The memorial was built from the quartz monzonite from Stone Mountain. Which prides itself on being a central landmark in George and birthplace of the modern Ku Klux Klan. The dates "1861 to 1865" were etched into the base of the memorial. In between were two bayonets and an insignia in the cross section. Above it was a statement that this memorial was in honor of Confederate veterans.
Since its erection, the memorial has been vandalized repeatedly over the years. The flag insignia, bayonets, and a plaque with Robert E. Lee on it was stolen but kept being restored. In addition to parts being stolen, people were going to the cemetery and graffitiing parts of the stone. In 2017, the mayor proposed removing the symbols on the memorial. Since the memorial stood on private lands, the Seattle Human Rights Commission suggested that the Lake View Cemetery remove the memorial, no action was taken for over three years. Then on July 3rd, 2020, the memorial was reportedly toppled by a group of local activists in response to George Floyd's death. The cemetery removed the remains of the memorial in September 2020.

Daughters Preserving Confederate Heritage
Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection explores Confederate monuments, statues, and memorials that were funded by or preserved by the United Daughters of the Confederacy across the United States.<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>Who are the Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and How Did They Form?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The first chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 10, 1894, by Caroline Meriwether Goodlett of Tennessee (Founder) and Lucian H. “Anna Davenport” Raines of Georgia (Co-founder). Women from many “hospital associations, sewing societies, and knitting circles” organized together to help soldiers in the South during the Civil War. After the war, they helped erect cemeteries, memorials, monuments, and associations dedicated to the memory of Confederate soldiers through the Lost Cause ideology. [1]<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>What is the Lost Cause Ideology?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The Lost Cause Ideology is a false claim and representation of the Confederacy as heroic and the Civil War as a war where the South “fought nobly and against all odds not to preserve slavery… [but for] the rights of states to govern themselves.” In other words, the Confederacy is seen in a positive light as just and simply acting in defense “against northern aggression.” [2]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This is the central message the UDC aims to preserve to honor their Confederate ancestors. [1]<br /><br /></span></p>
<p><b>The UDC’s Impact:</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The organization currently has 41 chapters and divisions in the United States from New York to California. [3] To become a member of the organization, eligibility includes proof of lineage to “men and women who served honorably in the Army, Navy, or Civil Service of the Confederate States of America, or who gave Material Aid to the Cause.” [4]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In the 126 years since its formation, the UDC has helped to erect or preserve over 50 memorials and monuments. The UDC also seeks to preserve historical records that pertain to the Civil War (1861-1865), such as rare books, documents, diaries, letters, personal records, and more. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Most recently, the UDC has turned their main objective to preserving Confederate monuments and memorials that were erected by members in the past. In response to much negativity towards the Confederacy, the UDC seeks to teach the historical and lineage connected to these statues.</span></p>
<br /><p><b>More on the Collection: </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection contains five monuments: "Appomattox," "United Confederate Veterans Memorial," "Confederate Memorial Fountain," "The Lookout" and "Silent Sam." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Unlike the other collections surrounding a specific location, this collection shifts the focus to one of the most influential supporters of the Confederate monuments throughout the US. The collection includes various monuments located in unique locations, and, more importantly, set a precedent for other Confederate monuments across the US. Within the collection, you will find one monument once located in Seattle, Washington, an unlikely state to have an UDC chapter. Plus, several monuments that the UDC helped to relocate in response to calls for removal or destruction.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
The Confederate Monument, or “Silent Sam,” is a bronze statue created by John A. Wilson and sponsored by the United Daughters of Confederacy (UDC) and University of North Carolina (UNC) alumni, who paid for one-third and two-thirds of the total cost respectively. [3] The statue was erected on June 2, 1913 “in memory of the Chapel Hill boys, who left college, 1861-1865 and joined our Southern Army in defense of our state” in UNC Chapel Hill’s McCorkle Place. [3] The sculptor John A. Wilson made the statue silent by not including an ammunition cartridge making him unable to fire his gun. <br /><br />Over the years, the statue was vandalized by paint, written on, and finally toppled over. In 2015, North Carolina passed a law (Senate Bill 22) that provided protection to monuments and memorials “commemorating events, persons, and military service in North Carolina history” from any removal, relocation or alteration. [4] Due to this law, students took action into their own hands. <br /><br />On August 20, 2018, students held a rally against the statue following the removal of another Confederate monument that once stood in front of the Durham County’s courthouse. Fliers for the event called for Silent Sam’s Last Semester,” which included a sit-in protest and ended with students putting ropes around the statue. [3] At 9:20 pm, the statue fell by being pulled off its base and the school issued an investigation. <br /><br />The UNC planted a tree in its place. The University made a settlement with the local Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) returning the statue to them with SCV agreeing to not display it on any University campus. The SCV sued the University, so the UNC offered to give them a trust fund of $2.5 million to care for the statue within minutes. Judge Allen Baddour approved the settlement at first but then denied after the Lawyer’s Committee for civil rights Under Law (on behalf of three UNC law students, two UNC undergrad students, and a faculty member) filed a motion to intervene followed by an appeal after the motion was denied. [5] The University changed the payment from $5.3 million in state funds to build a new center for Silent Sam to the $2.5 million of non-state funds. [6] <br /><br />In January 2019, the statue’s 9-foot tall base pedestal and its commemorative plaques were removed by the University. [7]

<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In the 126 years since its formation, the UDC has helped to erect or preserve over 50 memorials and monuments. The UDC also seeks to preserve historical records that pertain to the Civil War (1861-1865), such as rare books, documents, diaries, letters, personal records, and more. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Most recently, the UDC has turned their main objective to preserving Confederate monuments and memorials that were erected by members in the past. In response to much negativity towards the Confederacy, the UDC seeks to teach the historical and lineage connected to these statues.</span></p>
<br /><p><b>More on the Collection: </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">This collection contains five monuments: "Appomattox," "United Confederate Veterans Memorial," "Confederate Memorial Fountain," "The Lookout" and "Silent Sam." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Unlike the other collections surrounding a specific location, this collection shifts the focus to one of the most influential supporters of the Confederate monuments throughout the US. The collection includes various monuments located in unique locations, and, more importantly, set a precedent for other Confederate monuments across the US. Within the collection, you will find one monument once located in Seattle, Washington, an unlikely state to have an UDC chapter. Plus, several monuments that the UDC helped to relocate in response to calls for removal or destruction.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
The <em>Appomattox</em> (statue) was a bronze monument honoring Confederate soldiers who had died while fighting during the American Civil War. The name "Appomattox" refers to the Battle of Appomattox Court House, which resulted in the surrender of Robert E. Lee in 1865. The dedication ceremony for the monument was held on May 24, 1889 in Alexandria, Virginia. The bronze statue is of a man crossing his arms, his hat in one hand, looking down at the ground. The man was facing the south, the general direction of the battlefields of the Civil War. The base was made from concrete and marble with several inscriptions on it. <br /><br /><strong>Inscription: </strong><em>South side:</em> “Erected to the memory of Confederate dead of Alexandria, Va. by their Surviving Comrades, May 24th 1889”; <em>North side:</em> “They Died in the consciousness of duty faith-fully performed”; <em>West side:</em> 100 names of the 17th Virginia Infantry; <em>East side:</em> Names of the Alexandria Artillery and “Other Commands” [3] <br /><br /><strong>Location:</strong> The monument was originally located in the center of the intersection of South Washington and Prince Street in Alexandria, Virginia. This intersection is the exact “point from which the Alexandria troops left the city.” [3] Due to its location, many automobiles have crashed into the statue causing damage to the base and the statue. <br /><br /><strong>Laws Around its Protection and Removal:</strong> Historically, to prevent any removal of the statue, the R.E. Lee Camp 726 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans of Alexandria, Virginia introduced a legislation into the Virginia House of Delegates on January 9, 1890 stating that the monument, “shall not be repealed, revoked, altered, modified, or changed by any future Council or other municipal power or authority.” [3] New Virginia laws (SB 183 & HB 1537 War memorials for Veterans; removal, relocation, etc.) set to take effect on July 1, 2020 allowed for the first time the “removing, relocating, contextualizing, or covering any such publicly owned monument or memorial.. for war veterans.” [5] <br /><br /><strong>Impact by the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC):</strong> The statue was set to be removed in July. [6] Then on June 1, 2020, the United Daughters of the Confederacy (the owners of the monument) requested the removal of the monument to a private location because vandals had recently damaged other segregation-era statues during nationwide demonstrations that had followed the May 2020 killing of George Floyd. Although the UDC were the ones to remove the monuments, they were strong advocates against the removal. In a letter from Deborah Mullins, the UDC Chapter President, to a city representative on January 20, 2016, Mullins states the Appomattox statue “is protected by state law [previously mentioned]- Acts of Assembly, Ch. 119, January 31, 1890, and Virginia Code Ann. Sec. 15.2-1812 Memorials For War Veterans. Unless and until those statues are repealed, Appomattox cannot be moved.” Additionally, Mullins suggests the reinstallation of the iron fence that once surrounded it and the addition of lighting “for better visibility at night” [4]. <br /><br />The base of the statue remains. It was set to be moved in July which would lead to the street being changed to remove the circle. [6] However, there have been no updates on any changes since the statue removal.
