War of rebellion Memorial statue
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 26 July 2010 in Miscellaneous.
I seem to be on a roll of shots of statues at the moment without even really thinking about it.
This one is a Memorial for Soldiers lost in the War of Rebellion, stnding in Lincoln Park in Jersey City NJ
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Was away for a while but finally back

Another moving statue, JJ ... I thought of you when driving into Jersey City's Liberty Park for the ferry to Ellis Island and the SoL, on July 18th.

Certainly you are referring to "The War of Northern Aggression" are you not? :)

Yes I love the processing you did here JJ...and these statues really seem to have an almost primitivist tone - I mean that as a compliment - so you have really conveyed that beautifully here I think..Great! All the Best - Denny

And further more :) - I just added this response to your comment on my page: "@JJ: It was a joke JJ :) In the South they referred to the Civil War as "The War of Northern Aggression." The folks up North called it "The War of Rebellion." The compromise that came with time was "The Civil War." Neither of the first two names have common useage today except among "buffs," among whom I include myself. BTW, my great grandfather received a disabling but ultimately surviveable wound at the battle of Antietam fighting for the North ... er, The Union."
As a Kiwi, no one expects you to know all this US trivia :)

@Formerly Known as MontereyJohn: Thanks for the education on this, I must admit back in my school days history was not one of my favorite subjects, but thanks for forgiving the Kiwi for his minimal knowledge of US History :)
