Monuments | Standing Soldiers, Everywhere, USA

About the Episode

As America came to grips with the carnage of the Civil War, monuments to both Union and Confederate soldiers were erected in thousands of towns. These mass-produced “Standing Soldiers” particularly proliferated in the South during the years of Jim Crow and continue to be a symbol of a racially divided nation and a source of controversy.
