Confederate monument honors Madison’s Confederate dead

Madison county honors their fallen soldiers of the American civil war with a tall monument in Four Freedoms Park. At the base are the names of 196 soldiers, 100 of which died from direct combat actions. Almost four percent of the Madison population was taken during the civil war from 1861-1865 and in 1860 over half of the population in Madison were slaves.
