      As I've noted before, narratives based on these timelines have to consider things like the natural cycle of war remembrance, reflected on the Union side. A pretty clear contrast in these two charts - the war monuments fit the natural pattern. Not so, the naming of schools. https://twitter.com/PhilWMagness/status/1155679833772515329 …

      Which is why there's a better argument for renaming schools than for ripping down statues & monuments. https://twitter.com/PhilWMagness/status/1155676920568320001 …

      If you think the 50th anniversary of a war is a strange time to build war memorials, you probably didn't live through the 90s wave of WWII nostalgia - Saving Private Ryan, "The Greatest Generation," the 1993-95 commissioning of the national WWII Memorial.

      What's the world's most prominent memorial or monument to a lost war? I'd nominate the ironically-named Arc de Triomphe, which was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 after Austerlitz, but only completed in 1836, long after the French had lost the Napoleonic Wars.

      The Vietnam Memorial Wall is probably the most famous American monument of this type. https://twitter.com/CommonSenseMa16/status/1155688270698876928 …

      1812 was a draw, and a long-term strategic win for the US, but I take your point https://twitter.com/FrankFite/status/1155688469089247232 …

          The Germans built a huge monument to Tannenberg, their greatest victory of WWI, in 1924, six years after they lost the war. It was dedicated by Hindenburg, who was buried there, but was destroyed in stages by Germans, Russians & Poles during & after the next war.

          The Irish, the Scots & some of the Balkan states have a rich literature of lost wars, but I confess I'm less familiar with their statuary.

          Oh yes. Very good. Although it is more of a site preservation. (The Alamo, by contrast, was a lost battle in a won war.)https://twitter.com/NathanWurtzel/status/1155691469157670913 …
