Confederate Memorial, Memorial in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, US

The Confederate Memorial was a 40-foot, 11-ton stele of white granite on a granite pedestal, topped by a bronze sculpture of two soldiers: one standing with a rifle guarding a wounded soldier holding a broken sword. It stood on the grassy median at the north end of the 100 block of South Third Street, at Dock Street, in downtown Wilmington.

The Confederate Memorial was erected in 1924 at the north end of the grassy median on South Third Street at Dock Street, funded by the estate of veteran Gabriel James Boney, the United Daughters of the Confederacy and a Confederate veterans association. Vehicles damaged it so badly that its granite stele and pedestal were replaced twice, in 1954 and 1999. The city removed the bronze soldiers on June 25, 2020, and in August 2021 approved permanent removal from public land.

The pedestal verse, "Confederates blend your recollections," rewrites a Christmas poem by the Earl of Dufferin, Canada's governor-general, printed in The Canadian Monthly in 1876. The Latin motto Pro Aris et Focis, "For Altars and Hearths," was used to frame the Confederacy as a defender of home rather than slavery. The memorial stood at the north end of the grassy median in the 100 block of South Third Street, at Dock Street.

The monument stood at the north end of the grassy median in the 100 block of South Third Street, at its junction with Dock Street, one block south of the Market Street crossroads. It was removed from public land in 2021 and its storage site was not disclosed, so nothing remains to visit at the median.

The verse on the pedestal, "Confederates blend your recollections", rewrites a Christmas poem by the Earl of Dufferin, printed in The Canadian Monthly in January 1876, decades before the memorial was planned. Dufferin, then Governor-General of Canada, had no connection to the American Civil War.
