Description
An account of the resource
This collection represents an amalgamation of Confederate incursions into the western territories of North America during the Civil War in order to acquire precious metals and natural resources to assist in financing flagging efforts to sustain the Confederate agenda. Four of the territories included in this collection: Cheyenne, Wyoming; Leesburg, Idaho; Denver Colorado; and St. George, Utah were not theaters of conflict between Union and Confederate forces between 1861-1865. Instead, Confederate incursions into these territories were based on disrupting Union supply lines, interrupting Union telegraph communication, committing general bedlam crimes, exploiting precious metals, such as gold and silver to finance the war effort, and mining lead and zinc to bolster Confederate armaments in the later half of the war. In a sharp departure from the harassment and interruption of Union supplies in these territories, a small detachment of Confederate soldiers raided supply lines and murdered civilians in the Colorado territory after stealing their weapons and possessions. The only theater of conflict in this collection was the Battle of Valverde over Fort Craig in New Mexico which created a significant burden for Confederate forces and inflicted heavy losses, thus stretching the much needed resources for war, and hampering further Confederate activity in the region. The Confederates could not sustain their efforts to skirmish with Union soldiers throughout these territories, and continuous failures at obtaining gold and silver eventually forced the Confederates to retreat back to the South. Despite this retreat, significant sympathy for the Confederates had developed in these western territories.
Following the failure of the Confederates in the West, General Robert E. Lee negotiated the terms of surrender with General Ulysses S. Grant officially ending Confederate aggression against Union soldiers throughout the country. After the Confederate surrender, the western territories of North America served as a haven for lost cause ideology and southern sympathizers. Former confederate soldiers and officers moved to Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming and established general stores, banks, hotels, mining enterprises. Several prominent Confederates were elected to legislative positions when statehood was granted and influenced racist and bigoted policies throughout the newly created states. Monuments and landmarks were created in the west to reinforce lost cause ideology, while townships and schools were named after Confederate generals and figureheads to reinforce the erasure of the legacy of slavery in the South. The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans took painstaking efforts to justify Confederate incursions into these territories and to bolster financial and political support from Southern sympathizers. New Mexico eventually became the home for the daughter and son-in-law of former Confederate President Jefferson Davis. They became entrenched in the banking industry and had prominent roles in civil society. Despite being the site of such a limited theater of conflict during the Civil War, the state of New Mexico, in association with the Sons of Confederate Veterans hosted a massive convention of Confederate Veterans. As the contemporary debate has raged as to what to do with Confederate iconography throughout the United States, each of the locations in this collection have employed various means to remove, alter, cloak, or convert their Confederate monuments and landmarks.

A Confederate monument plaque surrounded by inscribed bricks and accompanied by the official flag of the Confederacy.
Description
An account of the resource
Dedicated by the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Sterling Price Camp #676 Association in 2003, the center plaque of the Confederate monument in Riverside Cemetery reads, "In honor of Colorado's Confederate Veterans who served during the War Between the States 1861 - 1865, Dedicated by the Colorado Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, 2003." Each of the bricks surrounding the center plaque are inscribed with the names and regiment numbers of Confederate troops. The official flag of the Confederacy use to fly above the monument.
Located at the rear of plot 16 at the Historic Riverside Cemetery, the Confederate monument reserves an isolated space away from all other headstones. The memorial is in close proximity to three mausoleums and is on the exact opposite side of the cemetery from the headstones of Union soldiers. The monument features 52 inscribed bricks, organized in 4 columns of 13 bricks, along with a plaque at the head of the column of bricks. The bricks represent Confederate soldiers, colonels, and captains from states such as: Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, Virginia, and Tennessee. Many of the names are obscured by leaves and the growth of weeds, however, visible names include: Surgeon J. Blackerby, William Kidwell, Private John A. Sweeny, Private Randolph Carder, Captain William Garrett, Colonel Abram Fulkerson, and Private M. Polk Crisp. The brick of Private M. Polk Crisp is inscribed with the words “No Surrender.”
The monument is no longer clearly visible due to the protective housing placed around it. A plexiglass rectangle undergirded by thin aluminum wire makes it nearly impossible to see the monument. Furthermore, there does not seem to be maintenance of the monument occurring with any regularity. There is a heavy undergrowth of weeds and scattered leaves obscuring about a third of the total monument. The official flag of the Confederacy and the chrome dedication plaque on the flag pole have been removed. The concrete base of the monument looks to have been defaced by spray paint and is likewise covered in a significant amount of bird droppings. Despite the general neglect of the monument, two small bouquets of flowers protrude from the top of the plexiglass housing.
As of November 2023, the main office of the Historic Riverside Cemetery has been shuttered indefinitely, which made acquisition of information regarding the monument nearly impossible. It is unclear whether the Board of Directors of the cemetery grounds, or the Sons of Confederate Veterans encased the monument to protect it from vandalism or to shield it from the elements. One fact remains, the monument has not been decommissioned, but the exterior demonstrates a degree of dereliction and the lack of upkeep suggests that it is no longer in the public spotlight.

The Northern Most Incursion Into Union Territory
Description
An account of the resource
The Confederate Invasion of Iowa Monument represents the furthest northern point of the Confederate incursions into Union territory during the American Civil War. The monument was dedicated in 2005 in Bloomfield, Iowa to commemorate the actions of Lieutenant James “Bill” Jackson and the twelve Confederate raiders from Missouri he led roughly fifteen miles into Iowa dressed in stolen Union military uniforms. Jackson and his raiders burglarized, harassed and destroyed the property of numerous civilians in Davis County. Nearing the end of their raid, they murdered three residents before promptly retreating across the border into Missouri.
The monument features three large stones, each embedded with a monochromatic plaque inscribed with dedications to each of the three parties involved with the creation of the monument. Flanking the monument are two flags, one of which is the thirty-four star flag of the Union and the other is the seven star official flag of the Confederacy. The Davis County Civil War Guerrilla Raid Society raised roughly five thousand dollars to establish the monument and collaborated with both the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Sons of Union Veterans to create the plaques which were featured on each of the three stones.
Following the protests undertaken by the Black Lives Matter movement in July 2020, the KTVO news organization in Iowa reported that the Confederate Invasion of Iowa monument was vandalized with spray paint prior to the removal and theft of the plaque dedicated by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The President of the Davis County Civil War Guerrilla Raid Society pledged to raise the necessary money to replace the plaque as well as threatened to find the person responsible for the act of vandalism and theft.

Confederate Veterans Bicentennial Memorial, Hamilton, Alabama
Description
An account of the resource
In 1977, Judge James F. Shotts senior erected a plaque on the wall of the Marion County Courthouse in Hamilton, Alabama. Shotts was also a Colonel in the United States Army Reserves and retired in 1952. As stated on the plaque, Shotts was present at a reunion of Confederate descendants and is the oldest grandson of Loyd and Shotts who are listed on the memorial. Judge Shotts dedicated the Confederate Veterans Bicentennial Memorial to the memory of the reunion of the Confederate veterans of Marion County, August 6-7, 1904. The plaque includes the name of the commandant of the Marion County Unit Confederate Veterans and a list of names of the Confederate Veterans who attended the 1904 reunion.
Among the names that are listed on the plaque, the name of the commandant is significant. Captain J.P. (Jem) Pearce, commandant of the Marion County Unit Confederate Veterans, was the orchestrator of the Confederate soldiers' reunion. Pearce was part of Company K of the 5th Regiment Alabama Cavalry, which fought in the Battle of Shiloh, an early battle of the Civil War. In the battle, the Confederate army attacked the Union army in Tennessee before being driven back and defeated in two days of fighting.
After the Civil War, Confederate soldiers reunited to commemorate their time in the war. During these reunions, veterans shared stories about their service during the war and remembered their comrades who had passed away. According to The Center for Civil War Research, “Attended by the hundreds and thousands, reunions of all kinds evoked powerful sentiments and became fertile ground for the construction of Civil War memory.”
The Confederate Veterans Bicentennial Memorial is still hung on the Marion County courthouse. The plaque represents the continuing efforts to remember the sacrifices of Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.

Description
An account of the resource
The Lost Cause in the Golden State: Confederate Memory in California is a collection that focuses on how "Lost Cause" narrative not only has preoccupied the South but has influenced the West Coast as well. Twenty-first century California is often associated with being a blue, Democratic, and liberal state, but this masks a much more conservative past, especially in southern California, where many supporters of the Confederacy settled after the Civil War. The items in this collection examine Confederate monuments and memorials located throughout California. These range from the Robert E. Lee Giant Sequoia to the Jefferson Davis Highway plaque. Although in recent years many of these memorials have been removed, this collection presents the history of each item as a historical resource.

A name given to the resource
Jefferson Davis Highway (JDH) Plaque, Horton Plaza Park, San Diego
Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Jefferson Davis Highway (JDH), named after the Confederacy’s first and only president from 1861-1865, was once meant to be a coast-to-coast highway from Arlington, Virginia to San Diego, California. Construction began in 1913 and was funded by the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). It was never completed so sections remained along with their old highway markers [1]. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">The JDH was never completed after it failed to compete with the previously constructed 1913 coast-to-coast, New York to San Francisco, Lincoln Highway dedicated to the Union by “the wealthy auto enthusiast Carl G. Fisher and a group of industry boosters and wealthy philanthropists like Thomas Edison and Theodore Roosevelt” [1]. Since JDH was constructed initially to compete with the Union-supported Lincoln Highway, it linked together many places in support or friendly with the Confederate Lost Cause. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">At least 250 JDH markers were renamed in the 1920s to the new federal government-imposed numbering system [2]. The highway portions became today’s US 1, US 15, US 29, US 80, US 90, US 99, and US 190. However, many - like San Diego’s Horton Plaza Park - kept their JDH markers alongside their new number markers. Originally a large obelisk located ironically across from the Ulysses S. Grant Hotel, the San Diego JDH obelisk marker was removed the same year (1926) of its placement due to strong opposition. A plaque was installed in place of the obelisk by the UDC California Division on May 12, 1926, and later restored in 1956 [3][4]. In the 1980s, during the construction of Horton Plaza, it was re-embedded in the new sidewalk after being removed from the previous sidewalk. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;">The San Diego JDH plaque was removed after protests to the San Diego City Council. It was removed by the city on August 16, 2017, at 8:30 am, and the city plans to return the plaque to its original benefactors, the UDC [5]. As of November 8th, 2021, fifteen local military leaders will make up the Military, Veteran, and Families Advisory Council to help advise San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria on military or veteran-related issues. The panel includes eight women and seven men from every service branch. As well as a "veteran small-business owner, a military spouse, a military family caregiver, and someone transitioning from active duty to veteran status" [8]. </span></p>
Inscription:
“First Pacific Terminal, Jefferson Davis Highway. Presented to City of San Diego May 12, 1926, by California Division United Daughters of the Confederacy. Replaced May 12, 1956” [3].

An account of the resource
This image shows the day that the original plaque placed was taken down in March 2016. The wording of this plaque showed sympathy with the post-war Confederate ideation of the Lost Cause. The Mississippi Sons of Confederate Veterans are in the works of suing the university for revising the plaque. Revisions came after protests from students, faculty, and the NAACP.

An account of the resource
This new plaque removes language sympathizing with the Lost Cause and instead reminds readers of the sacrifice that came as a result of a war for the freedom of others. This plaque will still be with the statue as it is relocated to the cemetery.

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.
