Civil War Monument

A Civil War monument is a public structure or statue erected to honor and remember individuals, groups, or events related to the American Civil War (1861-1865). These monuments often commemorate soldiers, commanders, or specific battles, serving as symbols of history, sacrifice, and regional identity. They can include statues, plaques, or memorials placed in parks, town squares, or battle sites. While they aim to preserve history, some also reflect complex social and political messages, prompting ongoing conversations about history, memory, and the varying perspectives of the past.
