Confederate Memorial, Memorial sculpture in Arlington National Cemetery, US.
The Confederate Memorial features a bronze statue mounted on a 32-foot pedestal with figures representing aspects of Southern society.
Congress authorized the Confederate Memorial in 1900 to reinter Confederate remains at Arlington National Cemetery following President McKinley's speech.
Women's organizations, particularly the United Daughters of the Confederacy, led fundraising efforts to establish this memorial between 1906 and 1914.
The memorial remained a central location for annual Memorial Day ceremonies until its removal in December 2023.
The memorial contains inscriptions and 32 life-sized figures surrounding the central bronze statue, representing different elements of Southern life.
