"At 351 feet tall, the Jefferson Davis Monument is the
largest [unreinforced] concrete obelisk in the world and the
fifth tallest monument in the United States. The top four are
St. Louis's Gateway Arch, 630 feet tall; San Jacinto (Texas)
Monument, 570 feet (built to the peoples who created an
independent country -- just like the Confederates); the
Washington Monument, 555 feet; and the Perry's Victory and
International Peace Memorial at Put in Bay, Ohio, which, at 352
feet, nudges its way past the Davis obelisk by a mere extra 12
inches."
