Monuments to Confederate Soldiers are statues and memorials that honor individuals who fought for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War (1861-1865). These monuments were often erected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting a desire to commemorate the sacrifices of soldiers and promote a particular interpretation of history. Many of these monuments are located in public spaces, such as parks and courthouses, and have become focal points for discussions about race, heritage, and historical memory. In recent years, some monuments have been removed or relocated due to debates over their significance and the values they represent.
