Description
"Freedom is the last best hope of earth." ~ Abraham Lincoln~ 1809-1865~ 16th President of the United States 1861-1865. Valor is celebrated as the Soldiers and Sailors Monument stands in the heart of downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania a few days before Veteran's Day 2015. The statue of a rebel Confederate soldier (second from left) stands beside a Union soldier with the phrase "One Flag, One Country" imprinted beneath them. The rebel soldier was included on the monument as a gesture of reconciliation when it was erected in 1899, only three decades after the Civil War, or the War Between The States. It is reportedly the only municipal monument in the North honoring a Confederate soldier. An inscription reads: "This column commemorates the valor and patriotism of the Soldiers and Sailors of the County of Lehigh in the War of 1861-65."
