In the Black Hills National Forest of South Dakota, Mount Rushmore, a large granite peak was dedicated in 1925 to be sculpted into a monument. That monument today is one of the most visited monuments in the United States. Mount Rushmore is a staple of the United States. On it, it has the faces of four of the most important Presidents of the United States. According to the Sculptor Gutzon Borglum “The purpose of the memorial is to communicate the founding, expansion, preservation, and unification of the United States with colossal statues of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.”…

Monuments shouldn’t be established or no longer established because of a sculpture capturing only a specific time and place of how it happened and also can take too much space; it also causes controversy between citizens in public places; such as malls, parks etc. Individual communities perceive that it could be an agreeable way to preserve history from different types of bourgeois who made a change in antiquity and the world. But constructing large monuments will not get you anywhere. You might think it could recall some of the history of people, but it can only take you so far. Your mind won’t go far away when the person was born or each of their birthdays.…
Monuments serve as archaic examples of mortal lifespan and progressing mentality and politics. As proven by the ever-changing form of political stature or correctness, and social mentality to various figures, messagage and controversy ever depicted in the ostentatious "aura" of figuratively and literally failing monuments and depictions throughout society, time and history alike. "The monumental core of washington serves much like a pilgrimage site" (Savage Kirk; Washington D.C, The national mall, and transformation of memorial landscape. Berkely 2009. Source A)…
Personal from all my research and note taking I think we should not take down Confederate Monuments. If we do why not also take down Union Monuments Like Shermans he ruined the south's homes and even killed civilians. I know the south had slavery but so did some of the states in the north. In fax lincoln said that if he could bring the confederates back to the union without freeing any of the slaves, he would do that. This shows that Slavery was not the key of the union war.…

I believe that Confederate monuments should be removed from New Orleans and other American cities because the Confederacy was against the United States of America. The statues represent fighting against the United States. It ignores death, slaves, and terror that the time stands for. It maintains slavery and white supremacy.

Imagine you meet a woman who refuses to drive or ride in a car, despite the inconveniences such a conviction would cause. She might seem unreasonable and perhaps silly, but if you knew that she or a loved one nearly lost their life in a car accident, her decision makes more sense. The necessary ligament connecting these changes in perception is, of course, context. Understanding the context of a monument can be just as necessary as understanding this theoretical woman's hardship. Unfortunately, because of a monument's fixed, unmoving existence, a frame of reference has to be sought out, and any lack of it fosters ignorance of the person or event.…

People should consider a couple of factors before building a monument. The first factor: that needs consideration before building a monument is, an important event in history that people can look back to and admire. The second factor: to consider before building a monument or memorial, is that it must be placed in a place that fits the monument or memorial.…
Monuments are a great way to honor a great person or an important event. Monuments are used all over the place and are marking the history of things.

The monument I would create is in Boston, Massachusetts, which is a historically rich city, but I would create a monument to one specific event named the Boston Massacre. This is a significant event in the history of United States, where British troops murdered some Americans after they formed a mob. This partly led up to the Revolutionary War where America fought Britain. This monument would be made of dolomitic marble. It would contain a 20 x 20 replication of Paul Revere’s engraving of the Boston Massacre, and under it an inscription explaining the Boston Massacre.…
