Memorial to the Confederate dead of Currituck County, North Carolina located in front of the county courthouse. The base of the monument was funded by the local UDC but they did not have the money to have a casting of a Confederate soldier installed upon it. Joseph Palmer Knapp, a businessman from Brooklyn, NY, thought a large globe placed on top of the base would be a fitting tribute to Currituck county soldiers that had served in ALL wars and that it would beautify the courthouse grounds so he payed to have a NY sculptor make the 2,397 lb. marble globe to sit atop the base.

Confederate Monument (Civil War)
; Dedicated 1918; Located Courthouse Road North Carolina

Edit - Your response is a bit garbled, but I see the words Currituck, Confederate, Monument, and North Carolina, so you will get credit for a correct answer.
