Type The nature or genre of the resource Marble, Sculpture Description An account of the resource Atop a monumentally tall pillar stands a statue of a Confederate soldier. With the soldier’s rifle standing upright in his right hand, the soldier tilts his head ever so slightly upward as if looking far into the distance with his left hand covering his eyes from the sun’s glare. This statue stands in Mississippi’s flagship state university the University of Mississippi. At least, it used to. The statue was moved in 2020 from its original location in front of a university entrance leading to its administration building to the campus’ cemetery honoring Confederate soldiers. This move comes after the tireless efforts of those in the university community attempting to have the statue removed. In 2014 the University of Mississippi’s board decided to begin moving towards putting educational meaning behind their Confederate tokens as well as remove some altogether. This led to the creation and display of the original plaque seen in the display above. Along with this action came the renaming of the university’s Confederate themed streets such as “Confederate Drive” to “Chapel Lane.” There were mixed reactions from the Oxford community as it is long tied to Lost Cause ideology. In November 2020 the state of Mississippi changed its state flag containing the Confederate bars and stars to imagery of the state flower. One situation in which a display of hate was shown is when a group of unknown students tied a noose around the University of Mississippi's statue of James Meredith, the student who integrated the university in 1962. 20th Century Colleges and Universities Common Soldier Mississippi Oxford Plaque Relocated Sculpture United Daughters of the Confederacy University of Mississippi https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/54855/archive/files/bd105d253265026a79e61d77fd9e8b88.jpg?Expires=1784764800&Signature=J9xrNr7cslkv7wfCGWxcOm8NFqzzFiqZAC%7E4tWsg%7EIvOEcHr7q6Wx1MQPkM2Bz2qMyESWBNibW7kPKVXU5kmnUGFyWaJMSs43dTMEgtu3WxtvJXBAtY4R8IrJjMaunAIN5pDhhBBzGU0%7EAf2hsOE%7E-IXpZD8JzEvrUVNTCYH5yehzN5wwEJhnF6espUQg%7E7Sv-Y9iHeME4%7EkY%7EPe0Ef6VuQ-tIPNW5gNepOUcEx7jOo08hPExiKWkulhVkFI5WqXtT1vLE4mM2jcyaCaTfG5wSJMXGhOnoiQCD2j2yB9oAgtV9QtaKcczNPw74drreJqkyfcvkPwYT3fH3X53tZNIw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM b932800aca2761d0c94d6c18e051ea4f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Daughters Preserving Confederate Heritage Description An account of the resource 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. Who are the Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and How Did They Form? 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] What is the Lost Cause Ideology? 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] This is the central message the UDC aims to preserve to honor their Confederate ancestors. [1] The UDC’s Impact: 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] 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. 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. More on the Collection: This collection contains five monuments: "Appomattox," "United Confederate Veterans Memorial," "Confederate Memorial Fountain," "The Lookout" and "Silent Sam." 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.

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. 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. 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. 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] In January 2019, the statue’s 9-foot tall base pedestal and its commemorative plaques were removed by the University.
