    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Windsor Locks Memorial Hall    (Windsor Locks, Connecticut)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Funded by Charles E. Chaffee, the Windsor Locks Memorial Hall was erected as the gathering place for the Grand Army of the Republic's Post No.67, an organization for Union veterans. The group's official name was the JH Converse Post, dedicated to fallen soldier Joseph H. Converse. When local deacon Jabez H. Hayden sold the land to the GAR, he included a clause stating the land must be used as a soldier's memorial forever or turned over to the town's orthodox congregational church. This clause has facilitated the continued preservation and use of the building as a meeting hall for veterans today. On the last Sunday of each month, guided tours are offered to allow exploration of the building and its history.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Benjamin Fitch commissioned Larkin Meade Jr. to replicate a classical sculpture seen by Fitch in Italy to honour Connecticut Veterans and their families. The statue features an orphan sitting on the knee of a Union soldier describing her father's death in battle, a fitting narrative as the statue stood on the grounds of Fitch's Home for Soldiers and Orphans in Darien, Connecticut. Following the home's closure in 1940, the Returned Soldier was relocated to the state's first cemetery for veterans, Spring Grove Cemetery. After the monument's restoration in 1985, it was again relocated to the Veterans Home and Hospital in Rocky Hill, where it stands today. A replica of the monument can also be found in the Chrysler Museum of Art in Virginia. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This plaque is one of the memorial plaques on the walls of the historic Aquia Episcopal Church in Stafford, VA. It was placed by the Stafford Rangers chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1933 to memorialize the Confederate soldiers of Stafford. It is simultaneously dedicated to Eva E. Bell, the founder of that chapter of the UDC. This plaque is accompanied by another plaque dedicated to the soldiers from Stafford who died in the world wars, which was also placed by the UDC around the same time, as well as a memorial gate in front of the church dedicated to all Stafford soldiers. Both Union and Confederate soldiers camped outside of Aquia church at different times in the 1860s, and both sides left still-visible graffiti on the church. Unknown Union soldiers were buried there during the war and later moved. The plaque depicts twin furled confederate flags over the inscription.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A bronze soldier, with musket drawn and pointed forward, stands atop a granite plinth. On the base, two bronze relief panels depict a lone woman, one holding the shield of Virginia, the other a Confederate flag. The statue, designed by Frederick W. Sievers, was dedicated on 3 June 1908 in the presence of a large crowd of approximately 5,000. It was gifted by the William E. Jones Camp of Confederate Veterans of Abingdon to the Daughters of the Confederacy, who took on the responsibility of maintaining the statue. In Summer 2020, a petition to remove the monument was started, but as of October 2021 the monument remains outside the courthouse. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Tucked away amidst the gravestones in the Rosehill Cemetery, you will find the Chicago Board of Trade Battery Monument. This simple block of stone honors the sacrifice of soldiers recruited from the Chicago Board of Trade, the oldest commodity exchange organization in the United States. The battery is noted for its quick assembly, and it is estimated that the group had organized within forty-eight hours. To honor the battery's fallen soldiers, the Board raised $10,000 by subscription and began plans as early as 1869. Despite this, the monument did not materialize until 1901. The moment's inscription details the battery's active service from 1862-1865 in which they marched a total of 5268 miles.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Perched atop a granite pedestal and archway, the Ulysses S. Grant Monument in Chicago honors the service of famed Civil War general and U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. The monument was commissioned shortly after Grant's death, fundraised by prominent Chicagoans, and designed by Italian sculptor Louis Rebisso. Located in Lincoln Park, this bronze equestrian statue represents Grant foremost as a soldier and military leader who led the Union Army to victory. Drawing funds from over 100,000 donors and dedication day crowds of over 200,000 people, this 60 foot tall monument is a fixture of Chicago's monument landscape. Despite this, recent controversy over commemoration has prompted Chicago's Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, to place this statue "under review' for possible removal. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Joshua Glover Bust   (Etobicoke, None)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This bronze bust depicts Joshua Glover in Joshua Glover Park in the Etobicoke neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. In 1852, Glover escaped from where he was enslaved in St Louis, Missouri, eventually making his way to Canada through the Underground Railroad. He settled in Etobicoke where he married twice. After he escaped, he was captured and taken to a Milwakee jail, but a mob protest led to his rescue and subsequent journey to Canada. This rescue effort helped spur the abolitionist movement in Wisconsin. The artist, Quentin VerCetty, created the bust through the lens of Afrofuturism. It showcases a well-dressed Glover, decorated with flowers and holding books, looking ahead while hurling away the chains of slavery with a cyborg arm. As no photographs of Glover exist, the likeness was based on written references and composite drawings. ]]></dcterms:description>
