List of Civil War Monuments of Kentucky
Encyclopedia
This is a list of the 61 American Civil War
monuments in Kentucky
that were added to the National Register of Historic Places
on July 17, 1997, as a result of a Multiple Property Submission (MPS).
Although Kentucky produced more Union
troops than Confederate
troops (75,000 compared to 50,000), most of the monuments included in the MPS were dedicated to Confederate forces.
The earliest Confederate memorials were, in general, simple memorials. The earliest such monument was the Confederate Monument in Cynthiana
erected in 1869. Later monuments were more elaborate. In the late 19th century, Confederate monuments increasingly were focused on a "memorialization of the Lost Cause
" and a "celebration of the Confederacy".
Two prominent monuments were not included in the MPS because they were already listed on the National Register and they are significantly different from the others listed. These are the Jefferson Davis Monument
in Fairview, Kentucky
and Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace
.
