Many of the first burials were reinterments from Pine Bluff, DeVall’s Bluff, Lewisburg, Princeton, and Marks' Mill, among others. Two years later, in 1868, the site was officially established as a National Cemetery. Later, an adjacent Confederate Cemetery was incorporated into the National Cemetery. The fall of Vicksburg, Mississippi in July 1863 left the Confederacy with a tenuous hold on its western states. Confederate Major General Sterling Price, charged with the defense of Little Rock, first encountered Union forces that summer at Brownsville, 25 miles northwest of the capital, before falling back to Reed’s Bridge, near Jacksonville. The Union’s superior artillery forced Price to retreat once more. He made a final stand at Fourche Bayou, five miles southwest of Little Rock, but was defeated. The Confederates had just enough time to evacuate most of their supplies from the city, though the Little Rock Arsenal and its large stocks of powder and ammunition fell into Union hands. The 40-day Campaign cost the Union 137 Casualties (18 killed, 188 wounded, and 1 missing), As well as: 64 Casualties for the Confederacy.

  • The Denton Confederate Soldier and Public Memory
    “As It Should Be Told”: The Denton Confederate Soldier and Public Memory By Hunter Vermeer The Denton Confederate Soldier was a monument erected on the lawn next to the Denton Courthouse, becoming a common sight at the heart of Denton’s civic and legal center. The monument itself was an archway, with a Denton soldier standing proudly on top, holding his rifle. Either side of the archway had drinking fountains (not functional) along with an inscription made when the statue was erected in the early twentieth century. The inscription pays respects to “our Confederate soldiers, who in heroic self-sacrifice and devoted loyalty gave their lives to the South in her hour of need.”1 In recent years, many Dentonites have called into question the monument’s portrayal of Confederate history. In 2020, growing tension concerning the statue’s status resulted in county officials removing the Denton Soldier from the square, removing it from the public eye, and hoping to quell unrest.2 The Denton Confederate Soldier is an informative case study of the wider debate raging about Confederate statues throughout the American South. The arguments for and against removing the Denton Soldier contain common themes present in the popular and academic debates involving Confederate monuments. In particular, this essay hopes to reveal a core disagreement between the two sides concerning Confederate monuments’ role as either passive reflections of history or an active creator of public memory. To understand the significance of the Denton Soldier, it is helpful to first give a brief history and contextualization of the monument’s creation and removal.

  • AP Language Essay: Confederate Monuments
    AP Language Essay: Confederate Monuments Directions The following prompt is based on the accompanying sources. In this response, your task is to synthesize a variety of sources into a coherent, well-written essay. When you synthesize sources, make sure to summarize and/or quote them accurately in support of your argument. Avoid merely summarizing the sources. A study by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2017 found that there were at least 1,500 monuments and memorials to the Confederacy in the United States. In the past few months, the United States has witnessed an intense debate about the future of these monuments to the past. Even Helena was embroiled in this national conflict over the issues of monuments and memorials dedicated to the Confederacy and those who fought in its military services. Following the violence in Charlottesville and discussion about our monument two years ago, the Helena City Commission decided to remove a fountain commemorating Confederate dead from Hill Park. The monument, which was dedicated in Helena in 1916, was the donation of a group called the Daughters of the Confederacy and dedicated as a “loving tribute to our Confederate soldiers.” Synthesize at least five of the sources into a well-developed argument that defends, qualifies or refutes the claim that the Helena City Commission was correct to remove the monument. You essay should focus on your perspective and not just summarize the sources. You should write at least 900 words and no more than 1500 in your response. Please review the Synthesis Essay handout before beginning your work.

It has been over two years since our fi rst issue was released. Going forward, it is my expectation that we will publish the Confederate War Journal every year. My sincere appreciation is extended to Editor and Past Commander in Chief Charles H. Smith for his willingness to continue the leadership role in the production of this magazine. Additionally, a special note of thanks and “task well done” is extended to each staff member of the Confederate War Journal. Like our ancestors before us, we live in a unique time. We now live in the era of Political Correctness and Revisionism. At the same time, we anticipate the historical commemoration of the Sesquicentennial. This is a series of events that we cannot allow to pass unacknowledged. As our ancestors did 150 years ago, each member of the Order will have to make the decision to commit to involvement with the Sesquicentennial. We have less than fi ve years from planning to production of commemorative events.
