I do agree with you. We were divided during the War. One of the more infamous Unionist Guerrillas was William Owens of Moore County. In fact he was in jail in Pittsboro at the end of the War when he was forcibly taken out of his cell, marched out of town and shot dead. My point with the monuments is that the erection of the majority of them came about when the nation was trying to heal from the War. This began in earnest after the Spanish American War, in which many Southerners fought.
