Controversy
{{cquote|To destroy this memorial … where all the descendants of these men and all persons might go to study the record of their heroic deeds, and receive inspiration and to also dedicate their lives to build and maintain a re-united country-such action would destroy the purpose for which Lee Square was dedicated … and this monument was builded.}}
In November [[1963]], a revival of the Ladies' Confederate Monument Association was led by [[Mary Turner Rule]] and others to protect the size of the park from further traffic encroachments and "to enhance the beauty and significance of the square."
 
==Plan to restore original name==
On July 14, 2020, the Pensacola City Council voted 7-0 to restore the square's original name Florida Square.
