    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Original Joseph Caldwell Monument     (Chapel Hill, North Carolina)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This sandstone obelisk, completed in 1837, was the first monument built for UNC president Joseph Caldwell. In 1904, when the current monument in McCorkle Place was erected, the Class of 1891 placed this monument on Wilson Caldwell's grave in the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery and rededicated it to three other slaves who worked for the University with a marble stone placed at its base. It stands in the section reserved for African Americans in honour of Wilson Caldwell (whom university president David Swain owned), his father November Caldwell (whom Joseph Caldwell owned), and two other men, all long-time servants of the university. It was rededicated in 1904.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Asheville Zebulon Baird Vance Monument   (Asheville, North Carolina)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The monument was built of rusticated granite blocks in the form of an obelisk. The square base and plinth are also granite. It was fashioned after the Washington monument and stands 75 feet tall. Aside from a small Masonic notation the only inscription when constructed was "Vance" inscribed on each side of the plinth. In 1938 the Asheville Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy added a bronze plaque above the west face inscription. The monument had fallen into disrepair and was restored in 2015. At the June 2015 rededication another bronze plaque was placed on a small sloped granite block in front of the west face. The monument is surrounded by a black iron fence. Within the fence is another sloped granite block with a bronze inscription memorializing the capture of a piece of military equipment in World War I. As of current events, it is now shrouded, and is set for removal in the near future following consistent pressure from activist groups in the area.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Middlebury to Her Soldiers]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Situated in the triangle formed by Merchant’s Row on north and south, and South Peasant Street on the east, stands this beautiful memorial of Vermont granite as a reminder that Middlebury remembers her defenders. The monument is 32 feet and 1 inch in height and is composed of 49 sections of Jones Brothers company’s best quality, light, fine grained, medium Barre granite. The entire outside surface of the memorial is hammered, ten cut finish. The lower base, which sets upon a foundation of cement, is 17 feet six inches square, with an eight-inch rise, composed of 12 sections; the central base, 14 feet six inches square with an eight inch rise, comprises 12 sections, and the top base, 11 feet six inches square, with the same rise as the other bases, is composed of six sections. These three bases, of course, are surmounted by the pedestal, consisting of three pieces, die (?) cap and plinth. Located at each of the four corners of the central die is a life size statue in granite, each symbolical of an arm of the service. Facing Merchant’s Row are the artilleryman and cavalryman and, facing in an opposite direction, stands the marine and infantryman, while surmounting the whole is the color bearer with the colors at rest. (The Burlington Weekly Free Press: Thursday, June 1, 1905).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Jefferson Davis Highway Marker   (Vancouver, Washington)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In 1913, the Daughters of the Confederacy began a campaign to dedicate a route across the southern United States as the "Jefferson Davis Highway," a stretch later to include U.S. Route 99.  In 1940, with unofficial state approval, the Daughters of the Confederacy erected stone markers at each end of the Washington State portion of U.S. Route 99, designating it the Jefferson Davis Highway.  The stones are identical simple rectangular granite prisms, with an engraved dedication on the front.  The city of Vancouver removed their marker stone from public land in 1998 and placed it in a cemetery shed.  In 2002, the monument was moved to become part of an installation at the Clark County Historical Museum.  In 2007, the stone was again moved to the newly instated Washington Davis Park, where it remains to this day.  The Blaine, Washington stone also resides in the Jefferson Davis Park, after its removal in 2002 by state officials upon realizing the designation was never official.  In March of 2016, the Washington State Legislature renamed U.S. Route 99 the "William P. Stewart Memorial Highway," in honor of an Black volunteer during the civil war.  ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Lee Elementary School   (East Wenatchee Bench, Washington)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Robert E. Lee Elementary School in East Wenatchee, Washington, was so named because, as the district already had a Ulysses S. Grant Elementary School, the school board felt it was only fair to acknowledge those who had migrated from the South, and in remembrance of the Missouri Compromise.  When it came time to erect a new school in 1955, the name Robert E. Lee was put forward.  In the wake of the Charleston shooting in June of 2015, some community members began to call for the school to be renamed.  Initially, the board decided to keep the name, believing it was a valuable history lesson.  However by August, the issue had risen again.  A contentious debate followed, with many arguing that the school's name made racism permissible within the community, while others countered that there were more concrete and direct ways of combatting racism that should be tackled instead.  Ultimately, it was unanimously voted that the school's name would be changed simply to "Lee Elementary," and while many in the community still pushed for the name to be scrapped altogether, it has remained Lee Elementary to this day.  The school still stands as it was originally constructed in 1955, a single story brick building with low eaves and blue exposed beam roof. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Confederate Memorial Fountain   (Helena, Montana)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Confederate Memorial Fountain was commissioned in 1915 by the Winnie Davis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to commemorate confederate civil war soldiers.  The fountain was erected in Hill Park in the city of Helena, Montana, and dedicated on September 5th, 1916, making it the only monument to the Confederacy in the Northwestern United States.  It consisted of a square stone base with a plinth in the center.  On the plinth rested the basin, and out of the basin rose an octagonal prism which was the fountainhead, and also had the inscriptions carved on it.  In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in July of 2015, some city officials broached renaming the fountain the "Civil War Memorial Fountain," but the Lewis & Clark County Heritage Tourism Council argued for its preservation as a historic monument.  However, after the white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August of 2017, the fountain was removed in response to general protest, as well as a letter signed by members of the Native American Caucus, the Montana House of Representatives, and the Montana Senate delivered to city officials calling for the removal of the fountain.  It was replaced in April of 2020 by the Equity Fountain.  ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in the Mount Hope Cemetery, just outside of Bangor, this Soldiers' Monument was one of the first monuments to be erected in Maine. Erected by the Citizens of Bangor and dedicated to the men of Bangor who served during the war, this monument was consecrated on 17th June 1864. With the dominant engraving facing towards the Penobscot River, this twenty-foot granite monument is composed of a stepped base, a midsection inscribed with a main inscription and the names of fallen Union troops and surmounted by an obelisk. The conception of the monument, and a dedicated lot for civil war veterans, originated in February 1863 with the arrival of the body of Col. Stephen Decatur Carpenter, the first of Bangor's casualties. Over the course of 1863 The Soldiers Cemetery Corporation was formed and raised $3,489.94 from public subscription to fund the lot and monument. The monument was designed by S. P. Bradbury of Bangor and created by Sanborn & Co. based in East Cambridge, MA. Throughout the war a larger GAR lot was later established.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The memorial to the Second Maine Regiment of Volunteer Infantry is located at Mount Hope Cemetery just outside of Bangor. The fourteen-foot-high bronze sculpture, mounted on white granite, depicts a faceless angel carrying a wounded soldier and is accompanied by a small stone tablet at its base and a curved stone wall behind. The monument was erected at the bequest of civic-benefactor Colonel Luther H. Pierce, a native of Bangor and lumber baron, who served in the Union Army and the Second Maine Regiment between 1861 and 1868. Pierce also requested the erection of new gate posts and a fence at Mount Hope in remembrance of his comrades. However, these requests were only completed by the 1960s, the monument was designed and created by O. V. Shaffer, a sculptor from Wisconsin, and erected by the Mount Hope Cemetery and Crematory Corporation in 1962. The monument was dedicated in the same year.  ]]></dcterms:description>

Comprised of a trio of bronze figures atop an ovular, granite base, the monument displays a central figure representing the City of Lynn crowning her fallen sons. Leaning on a shield which displays the city's coat of arms, to her left sits a statue representing Justice, to her right, an allegorical figure of War. The Soldiers' Monument was dedicated on September 17, 1873 - the eleventh anniversary of the Battle of Antietam - in honour of the 283 Lynn soldiers who gave their lives for the Union cause. A reported 15,000 people were present at the memorial's unveiling.]]></dcterms:description>
