I think it's an important reminder to us as well as an important show of respect to those that lost their lives.
You have to understand that the a lot of the confederate soldiers had no opinion on slavery. Maybe they were slightly in favor or slightly opposed, but the soldiers didn't own slaves, war was the last thing they wanted. The war was waged by the gentry. There were several violent uprisings in western NC, when men were faced with the decision of serving the south or being hung or shot on the spot.
Victims is a fantastic read if you have any interest in Civil war or NC history.
