Confederate Memorial, Bronze memorial in Arlington National Cemetery, United States
The Confederate Memorial features a central female figure representing the South, surrounded by thirty-two life-sized bronze figures depicting soldiers and civilians.
Moses Jacob Ezekiel, a Confederate veteran and sculptor, constructed this memorial in 1914 to honor Confederate soldiers who died during the Civil War.
The United Daughters of the Confederacy raised funds and supported the construction, highlighting the role of women's organizations in post-Civil War commemorations.
The memorial stands in Section 16 of Arlington National Cemetery, which remains accessible to visitors daily from 8 AM to 5 PM.
In December 2023, workers removed the bronze elements of the memorial while preserving the granite base to protect surrounding graves.
