- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Confederate monuments in Georgia. These memorials honor those who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War (1861-65), and are located across the state, in both large cities and small communities. Efforts to honor Georgia's Civil War veterans began almost as soon as the war ended, but the great majority of Confederate monuments were dedicated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period that coincided with the rise of Lost Cause religion and the passage of Jim Crow laws across the South.
