context_page_description: Note: This is a sublist of List of Confederate monuments and memorials from the Virginia section.
  This is a list of Confederate monuments and memorials in Virginia that were established as public displays and symbols of the Confederate States of America, Confederate leaders, or Confederate soldiers of the American Civil War. Part of the commemoration of the American Civil War, these symbols include monuments and statues, flags, holidays and other observances, and the names of schools, roads, parks, bridges, counties, cities, lakes, dams, military bases, and other public works.
  This list does not include items which are largely historic in nature such as historic markers or battlefield parks if they were not established to honor the Confederacy. Nor does it include figures connected with the origins of the Civil War or white supremacy, but not with the Confederacy.
  As of 24 June 2020, there are at least 241 public spaces with Confederate monuments in Virginia, more than in any other state.
context_section_description: Alexandria:
  Plaques (1870) of Robert E. Lee and George Washington hang on either side of the altar at Christ Church, where both were parishioners.  Following a unanimous vote of its board in 2017, the church announced the plaques would be removed in 2018 once a new location of "respectful prominence" is identified.
  Berryville: Memorial (1986) and "hitching post" where Robert E. Lee tethered his horse, Traveller, while Lee "paused on his march to Gettysburg" to attended a church service
  Brandy Station: UDC monument (1998) dedicated to John Pelham
  Bristol: Confederate Soldier Monument (1910)
  Buchanan: Botetourt Artillery Obelisk (1902)

  Chancellorsville: Confederate monuments at the site of the Battle of Chancellorsville include:
  Jackson Memorial Boulder and Tablet (1888), placed by former members of Stonewall Jackson's staff
  General Thomas J. Jackson Shaft (1888), "On this spot fell mortally wounded Thomas J. Jackson Lt. Gen. C.S.A. May 2nd 1863"
  Lee-Jackson Bivouac Shaft (1903), "Bivouac, Lee and Jackson, night of May 1, 1863"
  Lee-Jackson Bivouac Tablet (1937)
  Brigadier General Elisha F. Paxton Tablet (1980), "In this vicinity Brig. Gen. E. F. Paxton, C.S.A. Aged 35 years, of Rockbridge County, VA. was killed on the morning of May 3, 1863 while leading his command, the Stonewall Brigade in the attack on Fairview"
  Charlottesville
  Robert Edward Lee (sculpture), Henry Shrady and Leo Lentelli, sculptors, 1924. There is no historical link between Lee and Charlottesville, and the City Council of Charlottesville voted in February, 2017, to remove it, and to rename Lee Park, Emancipation Park. This led to the white supremacist Unite the Right rally in August, 2017, in which there were three fatalities. A lawsuit, unresolved as of October, 2018, generated an injunction prohibiting the city from removing the statue or "adding context". The statues were then shrouded in black, but the shrouds were removed in 2018. In the City Council meeting of July, 2018, the name of the park was changed again, to Market Street Park.
  The statue was vandalized with red paint and the words "Native Land", during the night of July 7–8, 2017; this was "just hours ahead of a rally by the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Justice Park." It was defaced again with the word "FREDOM" [sic]; the vandalism was discovered on February 19, 2019. In April, 2019, a circuit court judge ruled that the statues of Lee and Jackson "are war monuments that the city cannot remove without permission from the state." Whether the statute in question applies retroactively to monuments that antedate the law is an issue headed for the state Supreme Court.
  Thomas Jonathan ("Stonewall") Jackson (sculpture), by Charles Keck, erected in 1921. Originally the Charlottesville City Council had intended to leave it, but following the violence of the Unite the Right rally of August 10–11 (provoked by the decision to remove the Lee statue), the Council voted on September 5, 2017, to remove it, and the park it was located in was renamed Justice Park. A lawsuit blocked immediate removal or "adding context". The statue was also shrouded in black. Legal action forced the removal of the shroud in 2018. At the City Council meeting of July, 2018, the park name was changed a second time, to Court Square Park. As of October, 2018, the fate of the two statues is unresolved. In April, 2019, a circuit court judge ruled that the statues of Lee and Jackson "are war monuments that the city cannot remove without permission from the state." Whether the statute in question applies retroactively to monuments that antedate the law is an issue headed for the state Supreme Court.
  University of Virginia Cemetery: Confederate monument (1893), by Caspar Buberl. Justin Greenlee draws a parallel between the erection of this monument, at whose dedication slavery was denied as a cause of the Civil War, and the adjacent cemetery for slaves, which was robbed of bodies for dissection in UVA's School of Medicine and Anatomy.
