This monument sits at the intersection of Broadway and 14th Street in Columbus, Georgia. After a fierce battle 161 years ago today on Easter Sunday, April 16, 1865, Union forces crossed the Chattahoochee River and occupied the city in the closing days of the Civil War.

🎄⚓ Did you know? On Christmas Eve & Christmas Day 1864, Union naval forces attacked Fort Fisher, the last major Confederate port. While many celebrated, sailors spent Christmas at sea—loading cannons and fighting to change the course of the war.
