Monuments at the battlefield

It is time to close our series on the Civil War.
Can't think of a better way than talking about the monuments at the battlefields.

From what we hear, about 30 years after the war, veterans form both sides had a get-together at the Gettysburg battlefield.
Subsequently, Congress decided they needed to commemorate the war with monuments at these sites.

Of course the Union got a lot more monuments than the Confederates. That is a benefit for wining.

Just about every small group or regiment form the North got a monument.
But, the Confederates were only allowed one monument per state.

Here is the one form North Carolina, a Confederate state.

I hear it was made by the guy who later did Mount Rushmore.

Look at the faces, though, and I think it does represent the suffering of that state's combatants.

See the concentrate on the face of the fellow running into battle?

And how about the fear of this young man, being given some encouraging words by the older soldier?

But, most of all, this wounded fellow, in pain, is still pointing out observations for his comrades till the end.

Yes, that one statue does tell a very important story about the people of North Carolina.
