The Lincoln Monument in Memory of Scottish-American Soldiers

Funded by a prominent group of Scottish-Americans – organised by then-U.S. Consul in Edinburgh, Wallace Bruce, and including philanthropist Andrew Carnegie – this monument was dedicated in Edinburgh's Old Calton Cemetery on 21 August 1893. Ostensibly erected to commemorate the participation of six Scottish-American soldiers in the Civil War, and in defence of the Union cause, the monument's artistic focus prioritizes an emancipatory rather than a military narrative. Featuring a bronze sculpture of Abraham Lincoln atop a red marble plinth, the composition is notable for sculptor George E. Bissell's inclusion of a bronze figure of an African American man, his arms outstretched towards Lincoln, at the plinth's base and at the visitor's level.

John W. Jones Monument (Horseheads North, New York) 

This small commemorative marker made of granite and bronze is located within Woodlawn National Cemetery, the location where John W. Jones was the caretaker in charge of burying the Confederate dead of Elmira Military Prison, located nearby. It was paid for with funds raised by local high school students and Elmira citizens and dedicated in 1997. The cemetery is located beside a town cemetery, also called Woodlawn, where John W. Jones and Mark Twain (among other prominent Elmirans) are buried. The John W. Jones Museum is located across the street from the national cemetery.

Newburyport Volunteer and Tablets (Newburyport, Massachusetts)

The first monument to a common soldier known to have been sculpted by a woman, "The Volunteer' was later used to cast multiple copies across Massachusetts and Mississippi. Kitson's monument attempted to restore individuality to the soldier by diverging from more conventional representations of the soldier as at parade rest. Instead, the monument is striking in its life-like representation of the Union soldier: his coat is unbuttoned, trousers tucked into his boots and hand in his pocket.

The University of Alabama gave to the Confederacy - 7 General Officers, 25 Colonels, 14 Lieutenant - Colonels, 21 Majors, 125 Captains, 273 Staff and other commissioned officers, 66 Non-Commissioned Officers and 294 Private Soldiers. Recognizing obedience to state, they loyally and uncomplainingly met the call of duty, in numberless instances sealing their devotion by their life blood. And on April 3, 1865, the Cadet Corps, composed wholly of boys, went bravely forth to repel a veteran Federal invading foe, of many times their number, in a vain effort to save their Alma Mater, its buildings, library and laboratories from destruction by fire, which it met at the hands of the enemy on the day following. To Commemorate this heroic record this memorial stone is erected by the Alabama Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy. University of Alabama May 13, 1914.
