Confederate War Memorial

Confederate War Memorial, Civil War memorial in Pioneer Park Cemetery, Dallas, United States.

The Confederate War Memorial was a 65-foot (20 m) granite and Italian marble monument in Dallas, topped by a 60-foot pillar crowned with a Confederate soldier. Statues of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Johnston and Jefferson Davis surrounded the base, whose south side bore a marble medallion of William Lewis Cabell, identified only as "Old Tige".

Designed by Frank Teich, the memorial's cornerstone was laid by the Dallas chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy on June 25, 1896, and the monument was dedicated on April 29, 1897, before thousands of attendees including hundreds of Confederate veterans and Texas governor Charles Allen Culberson. It stood in Sullivan Park until 1961, when construction of the R.L. Thornton Freeway forced its move to Pioneer Park Cemetery; it was rededicated there on April 29, 1962. The Dallas City Council voted 11–4 to remove it on February 13, 2019, and after court battles it was taken down in June 2020 and placed in storage.

The monument's south face carried a marble roundel of William Lewis Cabell, nicknamed "Old Tige", a three-term Dallas mayor and Confederate brigadier-general. His daughter Katie Doswell Cabell led the Texas Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy when the cornerstone and monument were dedicated, which may explain the portrait's inclusion. The inscriptions on the other faces praised Confederate cavalry, infantry and naval forces.

The monument no longer stands: it was taken down in June 2020 and placed in storage, so nothing of it remains at Pioneer Park Cemetery next to Pioneer Plaza. The graves in the cemetery, including those moved there before 1921, are still visible. Look for the site near the Dallas Convention Center rather than expecting a monument.

The monument was once Dallas's oldest public sculpture and became one of the city's most controversial objects. Its removal marked a turning point in how the city addressed public monuments and collective memory.
