Lawrence Martin Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation Public Commemoration and Monuments to Memory: The Triumph of Robert E. Lee and the Lost Cause by Edward T. O’Connell Doctor of Philosophy in History Stony Brook University 2008 This dissertation examines the significance of the Virginia Memorial located on the former battlefield of the Gettysburg Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Dedicated on June 8, 1917 and prominently featuring an equestrian image of Robert E. Lee, this work of public commemorative art represents a dominant voice in the dialogue of the constructed public memory of the causes and the consequences of the Civil War. It signals the legitimacy and wide spread acceptance of the myth of the Lost Cause and its prominent association with the image of the most notable canonical icon of this ideology, Robert E. Lee. iii It represents a public memory and reiteration of the war’s legacy that, as Frederic Douglass declared, forgets the difference “between those who fought for slavery and those who fought for liberty.” It is this myth that in effect controls the commemorative discourse of the preserved battlefield at Gettysburg and beyond. Today, as it has done since the time of its dedication, the Virginia Memorial remains an important sign post in the nation’s memory of the Civil War and is the result of an ongoing political discussion that continues to take place in the public sphere regarding the structures of power that are inextricably linked with the formation of public memory. It stands as a unique physical marker in the text that comprises the dialogue constructing the nation’s public memory of the Civil War, a unique work of commemorative public art that serves simultaneously as a battlefield monument and war memorial to the Virginians who fought at Gettysburg, and a site specific work of public sculpture in contested civic space. As such, it serves the purposes of seemingly contradictory and antithetical interests while asserting the ideas of both cultural continuity and cultural revision within the constructed symbolic code of America’s commemorative patriotic landscape. Although the Confederacy was defeated in battle it emerged on the field at Gettysburg as victorious in memory. The constructed image and public memory of Robert E. Lee makes this final victory of memory possible. iv Dedication Dedicated to my father, Thomas J. O’Connell “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” — Hamlet, Act I, sc. iii Table of Contents List of Figures………………………………………………………………………viii Acknowledgments……………………………………………………………………xi Introduction…………………… …………………………………………………….1 I.

  • A Past So Fraught with Sorrow Bert H
    A Past So Fraught With Sorrow Bert H. Barnett, Gettysburg NMP On May 23 and 24, 1865, the victorious Union armies gathered for one massive, final “Grand Review” in Washington, D.C. Among the multitude of patriotic streamers and buntings bedecking the parade route was one, much noticed, hanging from the Capitol. It proclaimed, perhaps with an unintended irony, “The only national debt we can never pay is the debt we owe the victorious Union soldiers.” One sharp-eyed veteran, a participant in almost all the war’s eastern campaigns, observed, “I could not help wondering, whether, having made up their minds that they can never pay the debt, they will not think it useless to try” [emphasis in original].1 The sacrifices demanded of the nation to arrive at that point had been terrific—more than 622,000 men dead from various causes. To acknowledge these numbers simply as a block figure, however, is to miss an important portion of the story. Each single loss represented an individual tragedy of the highest order for thousands of families across the country, North and South. To have been one of the “merely wounded” was often to suffer a fate perhaps only debatably better than that of a deceased comrade. Many of these battle casualties were condemned to years of physical agony and mental duress. The side effects that plagued these men often also tore through their post-war lives and families as destructively as any physical projectile, altering relationships with loved ones and reducing the chances for a fuller integration into a post-war world.
