The Arkansas Confederate Soldiers Monument

The Arkansas Confederate Soldiers Monument, also known as Defense of the Flag, is located on the east side of the Arkansas State Capitol grounds in Little Rock, just off 4th Street. It is a five-tiered marble structure, topped by a bronze statue of an angel standing on a sphere, and a bronze Confederate Army soldier on the front of its fourth tier.

Erected in 1904–05, the monument was funded by a variety of sources, including the state, primarily through the efforts of a consortium of Confederate memorial groups. It was originally located prominently near the main eastern entrance to the capitol building, but was later moved to the northeast lawn.

Due to its historical relevance, the Confederate Soldiers Monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
