The George Davis Monument is a monument to attorney and Confederate politician George Davis in Wilmington, North Carolina erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Davis, a railroad attorney and minor local figure before the war, was a pro-Union member of the Whig Party. After secession, he accepted appointments to the Confederate senate and as attorney general. He was a skilled orator who spoke publicly in March 1861 that North Carolina should secede from the United States of America principally to preserve the economic interest in chattel slavery.
