Title
A name given to the resource
Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza Confederate Troops Memorial, Phoenix
Description
An account of the resource
Located outside Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix a monument honoring Confederate troops was erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy on February 14, 1962. It stood in the Wesley Bolin Plaza just outside the Capitol itself until it was removed on July 23, 2020 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy once more. The monument was relocated to a private location where it exists today. Originally the United Daughters of the Confederacy gifted the monument to the state to commemorate the brief occupation of Arizona by Confederate Troops who fought at the Battle of Picacho Pass, which is the westernmost battle fought during the Civil War. At this battle, thirteen Californian Union troops were sweeping for Confederate troops near Picacho Pass in hopes of securing Tucson. Upon spotting Confederate soldiers, the Union troop leader engaged in a surprise attack leading to the death of three Union soldiers and three Confederate soldiers. Both sides retreated with the Confederates leaving to warn of the impending siege of Tucson and the Union troops to gather reinforcements. The Confederates lacked reinforcements and as a result lost Tucson to the Union, securing Arizona as a Union territory. The monument commemorates the Lost Cause and desire for the Confederacy’s westward expansion. The monument itself cost $1000 and was created of copper and green stones in the shape of Arizona with a plaque in the center reading, “A nation that forgets its past has no future.” The monument is located at the state Capitol in order to display the Confederate mission in the public sphere.
The Daughters of the Confederacy claimed in a letter on June 30, 2021 the necessity to remove the monument from its public location in order to repair its “natural deterioration.” Due to the political climate in June 2021 and civil unrest associated with the nature of Confederate monuments, the Daughters declared it unwise to repair it where located. They were granted permission by the Arizona state government to remove the monument, where it was moved to an undisclosed location in fear of destruction by public protestors. The state re-gifted the monument to the Daughters immediately and it was removed overnight by a hired contractor. The removal points out a lack of public process involved in the removal of monuments.

The 30 foot Ole Miss Confederate statue is being moved to their on-campus Confederate cemetery. There are plans to beautify the cemetery as well as to glorify the statue with lighting in a path towards it in the cemetery. The move comes after student-led protests following the George Floyd protests.

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
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.

Description
An account of the resource
Charlottesville is an important location when considering the controversial topic of removing Confederate monuments. In 2017 it was the site of the Unite the Right rally, which was a rally conducted by white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and Klansmen among other white nationalist groups. These groups were protesting the removal of Confederate statues following the racially motivated 2015 Charleston church shooting. Among the monuments proposed for removal were statues of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and the statue popularly known as Johnny Reb in Charlottesville. Many other monuments across the United States came under increased criticism as well. The rally turned violent as protestors and counter-protestors clashed, leading to more than thirty injuries and one death at the hands of a self-proclaimed white supremacist. This had the opposite intended effect and led to many statues being removed from fear of continued violence in cities across the United States. Some statues, like the statue of Johnny Reb in Charlottesville, have been removed and relocated to places where they can be presented in a way that better explains their context in American history. Others, such as the Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson monuments in Charlottesville, are still being contested under Virginia state law prohibiting the removal of war memorials. This law went into effect after the statues were erected however, leading to court proceedings holding up their removal. Other monuments, like the Confederate Dead Memorial in the University of Virginia cemetery, have had no action taken against them, though it has been noted that its presence near an unmarked slave cemetery is problematic. This city alone demonstrates the different voices on both sides of the debate. Outcomes have included removal and relocation, contestation by state government, and in some instances, little action taken. The city of Charlottesville stands as a significant modern battleground over the controversial debate on the removal of Confederate monuments.

"At Ready" Confederate Soldier Monument, Charlottesville
Description
An account of the resource
“At Ready,” also popularly referred to as “Johnny Reb,” is a Confederate soldier monument in front of the Albemarle County Courthouse in Charlottesville, Virginia. The statue was unveiled in 1909 by the City of Charlottesville and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and represents the formation of the Monticello Guard, which was a militia company started in Virginia in 1857 that joined the 19th Virginia Infantry when they seceded from the Union in 1861. The statue was also accompanied by a time capsule containing Confederate memorabilia including a roster of the Albemarle chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, a brief history of the erection of the monument, and a pamphlet containing the history of Charlottesville up until 1909. This statue is one of the many across the country removed following the Unite the Right rally in 2017, which was initially a protest against the removal of confederate monuments, but violent outbursts at the event actually helped to accelerate the movement to remove them. It was removed by unanimous vote by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, and it was relocated for display at the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District in Waynesboro, Virginia in September of 2020 as the first area to remove a war memorial under new Virginia State law as of July 2020.
