Summary The Confederate Monument in Augusta Georgia was the first monument erected in the United States honoring the Confederate soldiers who lost their lives in the Civil War. Conceived in 1865 and dedicated in 1873 to mark the loss of 24 men of the St. James Methodist Church Sabbath School. Noteworthy was that five years after the dedication of this monument to the fallen soldiers of the Civil War a church Sexton named Richard Hall passed away. What was noteworthy was the fact Richard Hall was a black man who was revered by the church during a time of great division was this seemingly small contradiction. It stands as a testament that times change and history remembers and love endures.
