Florida's Tribute to the Women of the Confederacy
Florida's Tribute to the Women of the Confederacy, also known as A Tribute to the Women of the Southern Confederacy and the Monument to the Women of the Confederacy, was an outdoor Confederate memorial installed in Jacksonville, Florida's Springfield Park. The memorial was erected in 1915, during the peak of Confederate monument-building, part of widespread campaigns to promote and justify Jim Crow laws in the South. A plaque says the memorial honors women of the Confederate states who "sacrificed their all upon their country's altar" during the Confederacy's 1861-65 war to secede from the United States. On December 27, 2023, the large statue in the monument and the smaller one on top were removed by order of Donna Deegan, the mayor of Jacksonville.
