    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This monument was erected by United Daughters of the Confederacy on the University of North Carolina campus in 1913 in honour of the alumni who served as Confederate soldiers in the Civil War. From 1954 onwards, it became known as "Silent Sam", a comment on the statue's apparent ability to fire its gun when a virgin walked by. In August 2018, the monument was toppled by protestors and its future display remains contested.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Kehinde Wiley's large bronze sculpture sits it stark defiance to the recently removed Confederate monuments that once lined Richmond Virginia's infamous Monument Avenue. Originally unveiled in Times Square, the sculpture depicts a African American man clad in a hoodie and jeans atop a magnificent stallion in the exact same pose of the recently removed J.E.B Stuart monument originally located only a mile away. The statue takes its name from Wiley's Rumors of War series of paintings which depict African Americans in the style of regal european portraiture. The original phrase of "rumors of war" comes from the bible verse Matthew 24:6.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Kensington Soldier's Monument honors the individuals from Kensington, Connecticut, who died during the Civil War. Dedicated in the midst of war in 1863, the monument stands as the state's first Civil War monument. The monument is located outside of the Kensington Congregational Church and was designed by parish member Nelson Augustus Moore. Both parish and community members raised the funds for the obelisk's conception. A Civil War cannon was placed near the monument to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 1913. In 2013, the monument was recognized as the oldest permanent Civil War Monument in the US by the National Register of Historic Places. However, this attribution has since been removed and granted to The Hazen Brigade Monument in Tennessee. ]]></dcterms:description>

A lone Confederate soldier stands facing south, towards the main battlefields of the Civil War, with his arms crossed.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Springfield's Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is an imposing granite column of over 40 feet topped by a standing Union soldier. Funded by Gurdon Bill, a wealthy local resident who later became President of the Springfield & New London Railroad Company, the memorial was then gifted to the Wilcox Post 16 of the G. A. R. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, which was created at the cost of $10,000, was erected in Springfield's Court Square and dedicated on September 29, 1885; contemporaneous reports affirm that over 1200 men were involved in the dedicatory procession. The monument's bronze tablets include an excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and honour the 2,485 Springfield soldiers who fought in the Civil War as well as all those who died for the Union cause. The monument was designed by M. H. Mosman, as stated on its west-side tablet, however the statue cast was provided by the Ames Foundry in Chicopee; it's likeness can be seen in several other Massachusetts memorials.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Commissioned and conceptualised by Dr. Jacob Bigelow, the architect of Mount Auburn Cemetery in which it is placed, the Sphinx was made by Martin Milmore in collaboration with his brother, Joseph. Made of Hallowell granite and 15 feet in length, the Sphinx, as in Egyptian mythology, appears as a reclining lion with woman's head, but is here presented with the additional features of a U.S. military medallion and a bald eagle on the headdress, thus representing the future of shared African and American culture envisaged by Bigelow. It commemorates all those who fell in the Civil War, and is noticeable for the unusually emancipatory tone of its inscription, which reads: "American Union Preserved; African Slavery Destroyed; By the Uprising of a Great People; By the Blood of Fallen Heroes'. While no official dedication is recorded, the monument had been placed within the cemetery by September 1871; its enigmatic nature is captured in Charlotte Fiske Bates's 1879 poem 'The Sphinx at Mount Auburn'.]]></dcterms:description>
