The George Davis Monument, Confederate memorial statue in Wilmington, North Carolina, US
The bronze statue measures 8 feet tall, standing on a granite base weighing five and a half tons, with inscriptions on multiple faces of the pedestal.
The monument was erected in 1911 through the efforts of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to honor George Davis, who served as Attorney General of the Confederate States.
The statue's inscriptions present George Davis as a scholar, patriot, and statesman, reflecting early 20th-century perspectives on Confederate commemoration.
The monument stood at a traffic island on Market Street until 2020, when city officials removed it following public safety concerns and social discussions.
The cornerstone contained various period items, including George Davis's original commission as Confederate Attorney General and contemporary newspapers from 1909.
