    Commemorative Sites In The Early 20th Century

    By the early 20th century, military commemoration and historical sites were growing in popularity in the United States. Federal and state governments, as well as private enterprises, were purchasing large amounts of land to serve as cemeteries, reunion grounds and historical parks for the purposes of celebration and remembrance. This was especially true in the American South, where a push for Confederate memorial grounds and commemorative sites sprung up in considerable numbers after the end of the Civil War and the cooling of Reconstruction.

While this did not at first seem to be the explicit intent of Southern commemorative sites, available sources suggest these sites and events -- often established in the early 20th century and tied to other groups-- had a lasting impact on public institutions, race relations, and historical memory in Southern states.…
