Precedents in europe or the United States for what became so common after the civil war. That is, monuments where rankandfile soldiers lay buried or monuments put up by the communities or the institutions where from where the soldiers went to war. To the best of my knowledge, none of the american precedents predates the obelisk that the town of massachusetts installed on town green, inscribed with the names of local residents who died a quarter century earlier in the opening engagement of the revolutionary war. Almost four decades passed before the town of concorde placed a similar obelisk that gained attention through Ralph Waldo Emersons dedicatory program. The biblical allusions in that program were described as a replacement for the rude arch, where once the embattled farmers stood and fire the shot heard round the world. So it is biblical illusions that illustrate a millennial promise to Americans Associated with revolutionary legacy. It is worth noting that emerson refers to this

The object that surround us here in this Beautiful Museum are lovingly and superbly conserved as if they were all made yesterday or teleported a regular from every age of the past into our present.
