In this Monday, April 6, 2015 photo, a Civil War statue is on display at Congress Park in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. In the decades after the Civil War ended in April 1865, statues depicting Union and Confederate soldiers were placed in countless American communities, from New England commons to the grounds outside Southern courthouses. A century and a half later, these weathered “Silent Sentinels” still stand guard, most of them at “parade rest” with their muskets at the ready, gazing off in the distance. (AP Photo/Mike Groll)
