- Silent_Sam abstract "Silent Sam is a statue of a Confederate soldier by John Wilson on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It is located on McCorkle Place, the university's upper quad; facing Franklin Street on the northern edge of campus.The statue was funded by the University Alumni and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It was erected in 1913 as a memorial to the 321 alumni who lost their lives in the American Civil War and all students who joined the Confederate States Army. More than one thousand members of the university fought in the American Civil War in either the Northern or Southern armies, comprising at least 40% of the student body, a statistic that was unequaled by any other school. Through the entirety of the Civil War, the University remained open. This was due to President Swain's policy of dependency on men unfit for combat. A bronze image on the front of the memorial depicts a young student dropping his books as he looks up to answer a call to duty. Under the student, a woman meant to signify North Carolina is depicted advising students to fight for an important cause even if it means leaving their studies. The statue was made to commemorate 50 years since the beginning of the war (1911).The United Daughters of the Confederacy spent four years fundraising, and hired Canadian sculptor John Wilson to create the statue. The statue cost the Daughters of the Confederacy $7,500.Similar to the sculpture Wilson created of an unarmed Union soldier Daniel A. Bean, Wilson created a \"silent\" statue by not including a cartridge box on the Confederate soldier's belt so he cannot fire his gun. Like the Daniel A. Bean sculpture, Wilson used a northerner--Harold Langlois, a Boston man, as his model.Wilson created a series of similar statues called the \"Silent Sentinels.\" All were created in the North and then displayed in the South. Like these other statues, Silent Sam is positioned to face north towards the Union, rather than towards the Confederacy.Like its neighbor, the Unsung Founders Memorial, the Silent Sam statue has frequently been a source of controversy. It is seen by some as symbol of historical remembrance, while others view it as a sign of racial oppression. Students gathered by the statue to speak out after Los Angeles police officers were found not guilty in the 1992 Rodney King trial.".
