State of Tennessee monument at Gettysburg
The Tennessee monument was the last of the Confederate state monuments. It was dedicated on July 2, 1982, and is the only Confederate monument paid for entirely by private donations. It stands atop a base bearing the outline of the state whose 16 foot length represents Tennessee as the 16th state of the Union. The three soldiers and three stars on the monument represent the three Tennessee regiments who fought at Gettysburg.
