- Title
When Monuments Glorifying the Confederacy Went Up in the South, Voting in Black Areas Went Down.
- Authors
TAYLOR, ALEXANDER
- Abstract
AUGUST 10, 2023 Confederate monuments burst into public consciousness in 2015 when a shooting at a historically Black church in Charleston, South Carolina, instigated the first broad calls for their removal. I expected to find little political effect from soldier-memorializing Reconstruction monuments, but some pro-Jim Crow effects from Confederate-glorifying post-Reconstruction monuments.
