Confederate Monument, Civil War monument at Springwood Cemetery, Greenville, US
The Confederate Monument features a marble soldier statue mounted on a granite shaft at the entrance of Springwood Cemetery in Greenville, South Carolina.
The Ladies Memorial Association erected this monument in 1892 at a cost of $3,500, with the statue modeled after Confederate veteran James B. Ligon.
The monument stands near the graves of eighty unidentified Confederate soldiers who died in local hospitals during the American Civil War.
The structure was moved from Main Street to its current location in 1924 following a South Carolina Supreme Court decision regarding traffic safety concerns.
The granite and marble monument represents the first public sculpture installed in Greenville and required eight years of community fundraising for its construction.
