This is the Currituck County Confederate Monument in Currituck, N.C. The base was completed in 1912, and dedicated: "To Our Confederate Dead 1861-1863", but as they did not have enough money it was just a base. Eventually a northerner - Joseph Knapp paid to finish the monument with a reddish sphere as you see in the picture.

The unnamed Confederate monument, located adjacent to the Currituck County, N. C. Courthouse, has an unusual construction history. The original design featured a Confederate soldier atop an obelisk, similar to many such monuments that adorn courthouse greens across the South. Confederate veterans erected the base in 1912, and the project then languished until November 1922, when Northern publishing magnate and philanthropist Joseph P. Knapp offered to complete the memorial. County commissioners accepted his proposal, but the idea of a Northerner completing the monument prompted an editorial in the local paper and local opposition. After a framed drawing of the revised design was placed in the courthouse, opposition subsided, the red granite globe weighing 2,397 pounds was added, and the monument was completed.
