One of the major pieces of evidence from the text supports that the United States remained divided fifty years after the civil war, everyone was building statues of either the North or the South, not both together.
In the North, monuments were constructed to glorify the Union. In the South, monuments honor the Confederacy. No one raised a monument on both side. The American Civil War was fought from 1861 until 1865. It began after Virginia and ten other states in the southern United States separated from the Union following the election of Abraham Lincoln as U.S. President in 1860.
In 1914, Mrs. James E. Caldwell and her group, the Ladies Battlefield association, began raising money to erect a monument for those who died in the Battle of Nashville. Caldwell's monument was a peace monument because it respected all those who died in the war-no matter which side they fought for.
