metadata.value: This article will examine the role of memory within the context of Confederate monuments
  commemorating southern soldiers and civilians in the American Civil War, and the impact
  of those monuments on memory. According to John Shelton Reed, of the Center for Study of
  the American South at the University of North Carolina, after the Civil War and in the interest
  of reconciliation, the United States entered into an unspoken agreement to allow southerners,
  and others to celebrate and remember those who sacrificed for the Confederacy. This agreement
  allowed for the celebration of the symbols of the ante-bellum South and the Confederacy,
  including the support of the Confederate flag, Confederate songs, and erection of monuments,
  primarily in the South but also in the northern regions of the country. I will argue that
  recent events in the United States, such as Dylan Roof ’s 2015 massacre of African Americans
  in a Charlestown, South Carolina church, the “Black Lives” movement, and the “Unite the
  Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, have contributed to a break-down of this unspoken
  agreement. Although most Americans support keeping the Confederate monuments
  in place, there is not enough strong widespread public opposition to their removal. This suggests
  a disintegration of the unspoken agreement regarding reintegration between the federal
  government and the southern people, which is primarily due to a more thorough integration
  of the South into mainstream American economy, culture and politics.
