What made mrs. Caldwell’s monument different from previous civil war monuments?

Answer:

According to the late Mrs. Caldwell. ''It was not a war monument, but a peace monument.''

Explanation:

The structure was different because it honored all those who died in the war—no matter  which side they fought for. Built less than a decade after World War I, it was also dedicated to the American soldiers of that conflict.  

In 1974, a tornado knocked the 40‐foot‐tall obelisk to the ground, where it shattered to

pieces, along with the angel at its top. Moretti's sculpture was damaged, but it was repaired.

The city did not have the money, however, to build a new column. A few years later, an

interstate was built beside the monument, blocking it from view, and making it hard for anyone

to get to it.  

For two decades, the monument was alone—out of sight and nearly forgotten by the

public. In 1992, the Tennessee Historical Commission chose a new location for the monument,

inside a small park near the original battlefield. Again, fundraising was necessary—to move the

statue and construct a new obelisk.  

The original statue cost $30,000 in 1927. To move and restore it would cost much more—

some estimate more than $500,000. But after seven years of work, the money was collected,

and the statue was rededicated—with a brand new obelisk to go with it. Finally, Mrs. Caldwell's

monument was whole again, and the message of peace could be seen once more.
