摘要

南北战争纪念碑的赞助人,无论是南方邦联还是北方邦联,想要向观众传达什么信息?虽然人们普遍认为,建立邦联纪念碑是为了恐吓南方黑人,阻止他们投票,但本文结合视觉分析和历史研究,认为这些纪念碑通常是在吉姆·克劳法和其他手段已经使黑人无法参与政治之后才建立起来的。相反,这些纪念碑对南方白人工人阶级说话,说服他们不要跨越种族界限,尤其是在劳资纠纷期间。同样,联邦内战纪念碑也通过抹去非洲裔美国士兵参与内战的记忆,使种族不平等成为历史。

The social messages of Civil War monuments

What messages did the patrons of Civil War monuments, both Confederate and Union, intend them to send to viewers? While it is commonly thought that Confederate monuments were erected to intimidate Black Southerners and keep them from voting, this article uses a combination of visual analysis and historical research to argue that these monuments were generally erected only after Jim Crow legislation and other means had already rendered Black political participation impossible. Instead, the monuments spoke to white, working-class Southerners, to persuade them not to cross racial lines, especially during labor disputes. Similarly, Union Civil War monuments also worked to enshrine racial inequality by erasing the memory of African-American soldiers' participation in the Civil War.
