Rankin County Confederate Monument, Civil War memorial in Brandon, Mississippi, United States.

The stone monument features a seven-foot-tall granite Confederate soldier standing at attention on top of a marble pillar with inscribed poetry at its base.

The Brandon Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy established this 37-foot-tall memorial in 1907 to commemorate Confederate soldiers from Rankin County.

The monument contains inscriptions on all four sides expressing Southern sentiments, including references to states rights and tributes to Confederate soldiers.

Located at the intersection of Government and North Streets in downtown Brandon, the monument stands as a central landmark within the historic district.

Unlike other Confederate monuments that face north, this memorial faces west toward the direction from which Union troops entered Brandon during the Civil War.
