U.S. Code Title 38 – Veterans’ Benefits, Part II – General Benefits, Chapter 15 – Pension for Non-Service-Connected Disability or Death or for Service, Subchapter I – General, § 1501. Definitions: (3) The term “Civil War veteran” includes a person who served in the military or naval forces of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War, and the term “active military or naval service” includes active service in those forces.

Confederate Soldiers get the same honors, benefits, and pensions as US Army Soldiers. So tearing down General Lee, PGT Beauregard would be akin to tearing down the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
