Title A name given to the resource Union soldiers at attention in front of the Capitol Description An account of the resource <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/303">Union soldiers</a> monopolized the spaces of the National Mall during the Civil War. At the outset of the war the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/59">US Capitol</a> was a work-in-progress. Despite the war Congress pushed for its completion as a symbol that the ideal of a United States would transcend the disunion of the war years. However, early in the war, construction halted as <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/304">Union troops occupied the building</a>. With their eviction in 1862, construction resumed. Statues and forts around the city raised gun salutes for the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/534">installation of the statue</a> on top of the dome in 1863.
