You are ignoring the history of those statues and memorials. Few were put up in the wake of the war. Most, if not all, were put up starting in the 1920s when the rump of the Know Nothings had revitalized the Klan and were terrorizing blacks in the South. There was another resurgence when the civil rights movement started to get off the ground in the wake of WWII. If you want to stand on history, you cannot ignore the racism behind those things.
