Confederate Monument, Liberty, Mississippi

Erected in 1871. It is in Liberty, Mississippi, which is the county seat of Amite County. It was erected to all who died in the War of Northern Agression from Amite County.


Amite County, one of the oldest counties in Mississippi, sent one thousand of her noblest sons to the Confederate Army. In honor of them stands in the town of Liberty a Confederate monument with the names of three hundred and fifty boys who, with unfaltering courage and devotion amid the shock of battle, went to their unmarked graves with songs of their country on their lips. No names shine with more resplendent luster upon pages of American history than those written across the sides of this weather beaten slab. The devotion that is felt for this monument is characteristic of a people who have always been true to every cause to which they showed allegiance, not because of its sculptural workmanship, but because it is a stone of memory erected by loving hands under trying circumstances. It was built in 1871 during the regime of the carpetbag and scalawag. ~ Confederate Veteran, 1911

Confederate Monument from Isle of
Wight County.

The flag to the left is the Isle of Wight County flag. To the right is
the Commonwealth of Virginia flag. The flag of the United States of
America is a third flag that is blocked by the monument itself.

This county is adjacent to Southampton County,
Southampton County having been carved from the original Isle of Wight
County land grant. Isle of Wight County is adjacent to Sussex County,
and directly across the James River from Jamestown. Isle of Wight
County was settled very early in the history of our country.

The consolidation of the States into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of ruin which has overwhelmed all that preceded it.

FIRST EVER "MONUMENT TO THE UNKNOWN CONFEDERATE DEAD" TN.

FIRST EVER "MONUMENT TO THE UNKNOWN CONFEDERATE DEAD" erected in 1868 and underwent a recent refurbishing by a joint effort of our Union City Council, Obion Co. Historical Society and SCV Camp 176.



THE UNKNOWN CONFEREDATE DEAD
[Written while the ladies of Union City were engaged in the work
of raising means to rebury the Confederate dead at that place in 1868.]

THRICE noble aim befitting hands so fair,
Befitting hearts so gentle and so true,
Cause that might claim an angel’s loving care
Now claims this pure and holy trust from you.

Ah, broken hearts no doubt have waited long
For the return of each one sleeping here,
Waited and prayed and heard Hope’s siren song,
Till wailing dirges reached each list’ning ear.

Perhaps, dear friends, for one who came not back
You waited thus, prayed, wept, and watched; I
have.
My brother perished on War’s blasting track,
And sleeps now in a lonely, unknown grave.

Pale Sorrow, somewhat hushed, to-day arose,
And flitted slowly through fond Memory’s hall;
Again my soul bowed down beneath the throes
War gave when o’er the South he flung his pall.

Five dreary winters have their dirges sung
Above my knightly playmate brother’s grave;
Mayhap some stranger hand hath kindly flung
A chaplet o’er the mound of mine own brave.

If so, a sister’s heart would bless the hands,
E’en as the loved of these would bless you, friends,
And hope to clasp them in the starry lands,
Where peaceful, joyous union never ends.

This poem is from page 37 of a book titled ‘A SOUVERNIR OF THE TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL, POEMS’, by Annie Somers Gilchrist, Gospel Advocate Publishing Company, Nashville, Tennessee, dated 1897.

Confederate Monument Salisbury NC

Confederate Monument Salisbury NC

Salisbury was a POW camp for captured Yankee invaders during the war. The Battle of Grant's Creek was fought in the town, which stopped Stoneman's Raiders on their way to Raleigh.

It was dedicated in 1909, and in attendance at the ceremony was Mrs. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson of Charlotte, North Carolina. To me, this is the most beautiful of all Confederate monuments. The locals refer to it as "Fame."
