Even Montana has a Confederate monument, despite gaining statehood 24 years after the Civil War ended. The granite fountain in a Helena park was commissioned in 1916 as a tribute to fallen Confederate soldiers by a group of Southerners who had moved west. The fountain was renovated in 2008; on Aug. 16, the city commission ordered its removal in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville.

UPDATE: On Aug. 18, the fountain was dismantled and removed.

The most public of at least six Confederate memorials in Arizona is the Arizona Troops Memorial, erected in 1961 across from the state capitol in Phoenix. Part of the state was Confederate territory, and the westernmost Civil War battle, which involved 24 men, took place about an hour south of Phoenix at Picacho Pass. This memorial was vandalized with paint soon after Charlottesville, and a few days later, another monument about 45 minutes away was tarred and feathered.

A 25-foot-tall tribute to Tennessee native Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, a slave trader, noted military tactician and Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, was erected on private land but towers over a highway in Nashville. The statue has been controversial for its symbolism — and its garish, cartoonlike design — since it was unveiled in 1998.

Inscribed on the base are the names of prisoners buried there who died, mostly from smallpox, other diseases and exposure to the harsh climate.

Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia was originally considered to be a Union cemetery, but its Confederate section contains 482 graves circling this symbol-laden monument. At its 1914 dedication, soldiers from both sides placed wreaths on the graves, a metaphor for the reconciliation between North and South. The figure at the top of the monument is a woman extending a laurel wreath toward the South. A frieze below her contains the coat of arms of each of the 13 Confederate states and Maryland, which supported the Confederacy but didn’t join it. Sculpted vignettes depict Southern life during wartime, including slavery. Sculptor Moses Ezekiel, himself a Confederate veteran, is buried at the monument’s base.
