The Confederate-Union Veterans' Monument in front of the Butler County Courthouse in Morgantown, Kentucky, was built in the aftermath the Spanish-American War, which helped alleviate the bitterness both sides felt toward the other when it was dedicated to the sacrifice of veterans of both sides of the War of Northern Aggression. It is one of only two monuments in Kentucky that reveres both sides, instead of only one. Butler County, Kentucky had mixed loyalties in the War, with both sides well supported by the county.http://www.trailsrus.com/monuments/reg2/morgantown.html
