Confederate statues for the everyman soldier were so common that they were eventually mass-produced, though this monument was sourced to a local architect. The monument was funded by the local Tom Johnson chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy organization, the chapter fundraised for “several years’ time” bringing in a grand total of $10,000 (about $270,00 today).<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> Though “Ladies’ Memorial Associations throughout the South took charge” of raising funds to commemorate the Confederate dead,<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a> it was Southern men who gave speeches at the dedications of these memorials. Former Confederate officer and future national president of the United Confederate Veterans Gen. Bennett H. Young was brought in to deliver the address at the memorial's dedication. While General Young’s speech was lost to history, one can surmise that his speech echoed the sentiments he expressed in his other, better-known speeches, where he was instrumental in painting the Confederate cause as a just battle for freedom rather than a war to protect the institution of slavery.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3] </a> James Young in his work The Stages of Memory, analyzes this type of monument, arguing that traditional monuments boldly convey messages in an attempt to craft a unifying historical narrative, as does this monument in Princeton in declaring that “Our heroes’ deeds and hard-won fame will live”.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a> Still more, by making the monument a tribute to the common Confederate soldier, a statement is made about the “normative white soldier and citizen”, ingraining Lost Cause ideology into the background of everyday life.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5">[5]</a> In 2020 there were calls for this monument to be removed but county magistrate Jeff Sims reiterated that the removal of the statue without the approval of the owners which happens to be the Kentucky Military Heritage Commission is illegal. <a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"></a> 20th Century Common Soldier Kentucky Sculpture United Confederate Veterans United Daughters of the Confederacy https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/54855/archive/files/0fe1498b00c189a33f587004b9988728.PNG?Expires=1777507200&Signature=MSmRm7ATgasmBqApI6-1Nd6VDcnOMAvM5GHaF7t2ucLdJ1FSco7Pc1Dggb3GIHO1F7yBKJmh2Bo6kTxfz-IvpxP2JWHzcmWq6KUPcsC0PgMlrTCtJRrMcKKrG184jdTO%7E6eEs8p4alAtQtGaZ1HDgNoErJIUotJwSpc49nmjRHWivM7TZpb2cIYCl%7E%7ES54EePrd2B4zSm6ipMF8JokZsJA0jRuGArAtNVDsh5t6Od127-QkGhJRFztx%7EfxIKcSfoI%7Erk78syKMjYF35uxcH4lrFqfH8e1RW43YVgOx4Xh0P3AFyQlAq1DQOBzNsd5kJPR-md8fk8sSVcJH8QRmZmpg__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 389ae5796a1fed6c73ca1959c7d4e818 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

That chapter and the U.D.C. itself endorsed the sentiment Camp W. J. Hardee’s United Confederate Veterans chapter held: “the home should be built, not only for the good that it will now do, but because it would live as a monument after all the old Confederates were gone. We want the greatest good for the indigent” [1]. Hence, the Daughters subsequently coordinated with the U.C.V. and Jefferson M. Falkner, the soldiers’ home director, through fund-raising and article publishing initiatives [2]. Therein, the Daughters reinforced the South’s values of paternalism through their shared concerns for the veterans’ care and, through that framework, presented said charge as a civic matter for Alabamians.

As historian Randall B. Rosenberg argued, events held within said building typified how “Confederate soldiers' homes were gathering places where people could congregate and reaffirm their devotion to the dear principles of the Lost Cause” [1]. Hence, why Falkner referred to that building as “the centre of the world” [2]. That perceptual centricity emboldened the “indigent” veterans toward politico-civic efficacy with their U.C.V. chapter’s resolutions about what qualified a Confederate veteran: “only those who won the encomiums of duty well done by decoration to the cause we espoused should be worthy of a cross of honor [and thus] recognized as true soldiers of the ‘Lost Cause’” [3]. Such “reaffirm[ations]” from “gathering places” consequently demonstrated how the soldiers’ home provided a physical space that the veterans and visitors imbued with the requisite milieu for “their [Lost Cause] devotion.” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Endnotes <ol><li>Randall B.

Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource JPEG Description An account of the resource This artifact’s portrayal of the “indigent[s’]” cemetery further clarified how said imbuement remained consistent for its stakeholders. Just as the newspapers stressed that the soldiers’ home had been built from “Alabama lumber,” they similarly noted the U.D.C.’s tombstone donations as “made from A-1 Alabama white marble,” and fulfilled “[a] long neglected duty to properly place headstones” [1]. Their Alabamian material specification and invocations of “duty” reinforced how the soldiers’ home facility fit in the context of post- Reconstruction out-memorialization between the former Confederate states with their own soldiers’ homes. Hence, only “the greatest good” was sufficient for the contemporaneous stakeholders, veterans and visitors alike. Accordingly, even after the home’s closure in 1939 began its temporary obscurity, petitions from the U.D.C. and Sons of Confederate Veterans during the 1950s-60s culminated with the 1964 Civil War Centennial, during which then-Governor George Wallace and the State Legislature proclaimed that site as part of a memorial park, “a ‘shrine to the honor of Alabama’s citizens of the Confederacy’” [2]. A direct response to the Civil Rights Movement, the Legislature’s designation of the park reinforced the militarization intrinsic to the cemetery’s layout. As each tombstone had been placed in linear formation and thus situated into a company unit under Confederate flags, they were further symbolized as “soldiers of the ‘Lost Cause.’” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Endnotes <ol> <li><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85038485/1913-04-20/ed-1/seq-33/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">W.

Per that sign and contemporary newspaper articles, the library is under the S.C.V.’s “mainten[ance],” as sanctioned through “a formal agreement with the state,” wherein the former sells Confederate history and neo-Confederate ideological books [1]. While that is not unusual for former Confederate states and organizations, this memorial park’s peculiarity rests in its financing, i.e., earmarked from a small portion of a pension fund enshrined within the 1901 Alabama Constitution, an anomaly for which “[t]ax experts...know of no other state that still collects a tax so directly connected to the Civil War” [2]. A haunting echo of the post-Reconstruction Alabamian sentiment that “[t]he Confederate soldier and his descendants owe Captain Jefferson Falkner a debt of gratitude that can never be paid,” propositions of said tax’s removal since the early 2010s have thus far been unsuccessful due to the Legislature itself [3]. Rather than within the fund itself, the importance lies in its reinforcement of the State’s collaboration with this memorial and its stakeholders like the S.C.V. Such efforts thus allow the memorial to “live as a monument after all the old Confederates were gone” as its creators envisioned and, through it, advance the Lost Cause narrative.

However, the memorial as having been a soldiers’ home made its history a difficult one in how Confederate veterans housed there were simultaneously “indigent” and deliberate collaborators throughout said narrative's development. Accordingly, each artifact disclosed the various individual and institutional agents which comprised this memorial’s stakeholders, and how their interests became conjoined with the veterans’ in their Lost Cause memorialization. As this memorial provided those stakeholders with a milieu necessary for such action, ideas which have been transmitted across generations of Alabamians, it affirmed historian Randall B. Rosenberg’s notion of soldiers’ homes as “living monuments” still alive long after their last inmates died [1]. Just as this memorial outlived the veterans it once housed, so did their Lost Cause narrative survive into our contemporary period of history. This archive is useful for one’s understanding of what a soldiers’ home was and its significance to post-Civil War Southern ideology. Unlike other entries in the larger monument-map, this memorial housed Confederate veterans and thereby provided them with a grounding for their Lost Cause narrative. Emphasis on Alabama's natural resources within its construction directly anchored stakeholders’ identities to the soldiers' home complex itself. That process continued through the memorial park and its neo-Confederate ideology. Hence, this archive re-emphasized said “living monument” as a significant type within the larger discourse about Confederate monuments in public and U.S. history.

Title A name given to the resource Confederate Memory in the Sunshine State Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Marbella Valeriano Garcia, Madison Hardrick, Samuel Mcmillan, Michael Westfall Language A language of the resource English Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Florida Description An account of the resource Florida: Confederate Memory in the Sunshine State is a collection of monuments that contextualize the lost cause within the southernmost portion of the United States. The Lost Cause infiltrated Southern values and ways of life to support the economic structures of the South. Florida's involvement in the Civil War began with providing troops, cattle, and food supplies to the Confederacy.[1] Florida also was the site of the Battle of Olustee in Baker County, Florida. This battle was the largest on Florida soil and its aim was to control the Confederate food supply. In more recent years Florida has become one of several battlegrounds over the prevalence of Lost Cause narratives. A bill HB-7 has been passed which limits the discussion of race in K-12 education. The new legislation led to the banning of AP African American studies courses for violating the new guidelines it created.[2] Alterations to the existing curriculum included an emphasis on how slaves benefited from their work and an ending emphasis on the Ocoee massacre in which a white mob killed dozens of African American citizens to stop them from voting.[3] These changes have led to a whitewashing of the experience of enslaved people and ignored the violence African Americans faced after Reconstruction. These sorts of events represent how the Lost Cause continues to be alive and well and the monuments which this collection discusses are an integral part of the maintenance of this narrative.

Title A name given to the resource Florida’s Tribute to the Women of the Confederacy, Jacksonville Description An account of the resource The idea of erecting a monument to the brave women of the Confederacy began at a reunion of the Florida Division of the United Confederate Veterans (UCV) at Dignan Park in 1900. Not until 1909 did the UCV put their plans into action. They raised $12,000 for the monument, and another $13,000 was contributed by the Florida Legislature. In February 1912, the U.C.V. signed a contract with the McNeel Marble Company of Marietta Georgia, to design and install the monument at a grand cost of $25,000. The division called upon sculptor Allen Newman, who was previously known for his other memorials such as "Triumph of Peace" and "The Doughboy". The monument is a large canopy structure with a standing female placed on top while a seated female figure is placed inside the structure. The standing female is wearing a drape and holding an unfurled flag in her right arm. She stands atop a small tiered base on the roof of the temple. The seated figure wears a draped gown and is seated on a chair inside the temple. The woman represents the embodiment of the “Lost Cause” movement, which minimizes the role of slavery in the Confederacy and Civil War and portrays the Confederacy as a heroic fight for independence. Beside her stands two children, a small boy who stands to her right while a small girl stands on her left. Her arms wrapped around both of the children as they look down upon the open book placed on her lap. This grouping rests on a granite base. The four figures are made of bronze while the base, floor, columns, and roof are made of granite. The four panels that are placed under the roof are made of marble, with a bronze plaque placed in the center. On the bronze plaque, there is an inscription that dedicates this monument to the women of the Confederacy. Let this mute but eloquent structure speak to generations to come, of a generation of the past. Let it repeat perpetually the imperishable story of our women of the 60’s. Those noble women who sacrificed their all upon their country’s altar. Unto their memory, the Florida Division of the United Confederate Veterans affectionately dedicates this monument. Currently, the future is unknown for this monument. In June 2020, the monument was defaced during the Black Lives Matter protests. It was splattered with red paint and graffitied with the letters "BLM."

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.

Title A name given to the resource Monument to Confederate Women, Little Rock, Arkansas Description An account of the resource 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. The Plaque reads: “To The Confederate Women Of Arkansas 1861–1865 “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.” This Monument Is Erected By The State Of Arkansas And The Confederate Veterans[1] More about the Artist/Funder/Owner: 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. Monument to the Confederate Women is still standing on the capitol grounds and it is listed a National Historic Place. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource J.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Tennessee Monument to Confederate Women, Nashville Subject The topic of the resource 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 Confederate Veteran 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.

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.

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.
