The monument controversy, however, appears to be one that will remain topical for some time, and I feel that CWT needs to address the debate in some manner as it grows in intensity. I think it would be interesting, timely, and important for readers to hear views on monument removal. So to that end, I asked members of the magazine’s advisory board, all highly respected scholars and authors, as well as some other selected authorities, to send us their opinions on Confederate monument removal. Their interesting and thoughtful answers are diverse, and some are likely to be controversial. Watch The Last King 4Shared. The removal of Confederate monuments is a complex issue.–D. B. S.

Broomall Director George Tyler Moore Center for the Study of the Civil War Shepherd University. I am an academic historian who practices public history and advocates for preservation. The removal of Confederate monuments troubles me as much as the destruction of a historic building or the total “rehabilitation” of a battlefield. The built environment contains countless lessons if allowed to speak. Make no mistake, the bronze sentinels and stone plinths found primarily in Southern cities and towns offer an incomplete, even dangerous message if they remain silent. I can therefore appreciate why so many people wish for their removal. Confederate monuments are at once symbols of white supremacy, works of art, affirmations of the Lost Cause, and tributes to white Southerners.

Yet, public history and preservation suggest that Confederate monuments can be used as tools for education, deliberation, and even protest. Interpretive signage and additional memorials or statuary offer one way to convey the thick historical and aesthetic layers associated with these relics. We can further democratize these spaces by capturing oral histories of the current monument debates, advocating teach- ins and dramatic performances, or encouraging viewers to create temporary discursive signage. Confederate monuments remind audiences of a painful past but can also give voice to contemporary social concerns and needs if they are allowed to speak. Catherine Clinton Denman Chair of American History University of Texas–San Antonio. Headlines frequently call for the removal of Confederate monuments.

Scholars try to learn from case- to- case how we can help communities find a place to debate how the culture of Confederate veneration affects the lives of those who live in the shadow of proslavery symbols. Many suggest that eradication of these public symbols will create safe spaces and reduce the hostility felt by those resentful of Confederate remnants. What if monuments today might become more creative? In Germany, artists install “stoperstein,” stumbling blocks on the pavement adorned with names and dates of Holocaust victims.

These arresting public installations remind passersby of those led to their deaths by a monstrous and unjust government. Americans witnessed a controversy over a 2. Fearless Girl” statue installation in lower Manhattan. Public art can raise hackles, as well as awareness of critical issues.

Perhaps we would be better served by funding counter- monuments to feed the hunger for new and different stories told with imagination. Perhaps shared spaces can become places where conflicting interpretations of circumstances might be highlighted. Static 1. 9th and 2. Christy S. Coleman. CEO. American Civil War Museum.

Richmond, Va. In the past two years, the American Civil War Museum has fielded numerous calls regarding controversies about Confederate imagery. Many want the museum to take a firm stand to support or oppose the removal of these items from the public landscape. As an organization, we rely on our mission to guide our actions.

In short, ACWM is a resource for communities to explore the war and its legacies. We recently hosted a symposium called Lightning Rods for Controversy (aired by C- Span) to frame the conversation and give interested parties the opportunity to hear from content experts.

In addition, our unmatched archival and artifact collections contain important documents and information to help address the “who, what, where, when, and—most important—why,” these monuments and symbols were placed. When communities are armed with this information, we are hopeful they will make well- informed decisions with reasoned discourse with all stakeholders. At the heart of these discussions and debates is the core question of how we choose to remember. When it comes to the American Civil War, the answer is not always “blue and gray.” Americans of every background grapple with the war’s legacies in contemporary times. This history is not dead or past.

Davis. Professor of History, retired. Virginia Tech University. In the passionate debate over where—and whether—the Confederacy merits remembrance today, we forget that changing values and demographics have always imperiled past generations’ heroes. Nowhere is it written that heroes remain in place for all posterity.

Where are the statues of George III today? New times make new heroes. Before 1. 96. 8 there were no Martin Luther King Boulevards; today there are hundreds.

Removing statues in New Orleans and elsewhere is unfortunate, how- ever understandable. Occasionally circumstances demand change. Nathan Bedford Forrest High School in Jacksonville, Fla., was all- white in 1. By 2. 01. 4 it had a substantial black student population. African Americans attending a school honoring a slave dealer (and possible abettor of the “Fort Pillow Massacre”) was too surreal to be ignored.

Confederates represent a part of our history. Judge past figures by today’s values, and our Capitol’s “Statuary Hall” would become “Empty Pedestal Hall.” Instead, consider Budapest’s Memento Park.

Rather than destroy statuary from the Communist era, the city moved it into one park as a “monument” to democracy’s triumph.“Lost Cause” mythology claims that Confederates seceded over self- determination. Ironically, as local populations today reevaluate who to memorialize, that argument is ascendant.

Urban demographics will continue to shift, along with popular will, meaning that in the future if the people so desire, Davis and Lee may march back into town. Gary W. Gallagher. John L. Nau III Professor of History. Director, John L. Nau III. Center for Civil War History. University of Virginia Debates about the Civil War’s memorial landscape erupt periodically and usually feature the same arguments from those who want to leave statues and other monuments in place and those who want to remove them.

How to deal with Confederate monuments inspires honest disagreement among well- intentioned, well- informed people, as well as some vitriolic cant from both ends of the political spectrum. In my view, eliminating parts of the memorial landscape is tantamount to destroying documents or images—all compose parts of the historical record and should be interpreted as such.
