Description:
This Confederate monument was created in 1891 to honor the Confederate dead in the Civil War with James Blackman Ligon who was the chief of police in Greenville as the model. The monument was originally erected in the center of the Main Street where the traffic is quite busy. The removal of it was raised several times because some thought it would cause traffic concerns. In 1924, it was reassembled in Springwood Cemetery and has been laid there until today.
