When were a large amount of the Confederate monuments put up?
If you have an angle on this, I'd like to hear it.
I'm pretty sure a lot of state houses started flying Confederate Flags when desegregation started. Are you saying it is similar to this?
My point was that modern people seem to be less likely than people of earlier eras to erect things for visual consumption in public spaces.
And when modern society actually does put up something like that, their efforts are... lacking.
If you want I could cruise around Columbia and snap some shots of different things put up in the past 50 years or so. Then ask you to explain them to me.
As for your question, I imagine most of the Confederate Monuments predate the 50's. Some were put up in the decades immediately past the war, particularly in the North. More in the South as some semblance of prosperity returned.
I imagine most of the Southern ones are probably 1890 to 1930 or so? Just a guess on my part.

My "angle" is my question:

There are two primary time periods in our history during which these monuments were introduced. Any guess as to when each were?
