There are more than 700 Confederate monuments in the United States, but just two in Pennsylvania (other than those located within Gettysburg National Military Park), according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Both are located in McConnellsburg, in Fulton County, near the Pennsylvania-Maryland border. One marks the site of the first Confederate soldiers to be killed on Pennsylvania soil, and the other marks the last Confederate camp north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

The oldest, erected in 1929 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, pays homage to two Confederate soldiers killed in an engagement that took place just days before the Battle of Gettysburg. An image of the monument can be seen at this website.

The marker reads:

"W. B. Moore of VA.

F. A. Shelton of N.C.

Killed near here in first battle on Penn. soil, June 30, 1863"

The second monument, a short distance away, was erected a year later also by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The inscription this monument reads:

"General Bradley T. Johnson of the Confederate Army encamped 20 rods west of this marker at the Patterson home July 31, 1864 after the burning of Chambersburg.

"This was the last Confederate bivouac north of the Mason and Dixon line."

There also are more than 1,300 monuments, markers and plaques housed at the park to memorialize the historic battle, including a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and a Confederate flag on display in the museum.

Park officials said earlier this week that they've received no complaints about the monuments. The park maintains that the memorials are important to the cultural landscape and has no plans to remove any monuments or statues.

The violence that resulted from a gathering of white supremacist groups in Charlottesville, Virginia, last weekend, spurred by debate over whether to remove a monument of Robert E. Lee, has sparked debate across the country over such monuments.
