This battle, one of the bloodiest of the Civil War, occurred in September 1863. The monument commemorates the battle and stands as a testament to remembrance and reconciliation. The Alabama Monument differs from other state memorials in the park because it was funded by the Ladies Memorial Association of Montgomery.

Fashioned from Georgia marble, it rises 32 feet and 6 inches. The design incorporates classical elements. The monument has a two-step base, measuring 7 feet square. A pedestal sits atop this base, adorned with four carved stone cannon tubes. Rising from the pedestal is an obelisk with a carved band. The monument is located along Battleline Road. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Civil War.
