The only reason to remove statues after 150 years is to stir up trouble.
A lot of the statues have been up way less than 150 years. They were erected during the Jim Crow era. They were a form of intimidation to black residents. A reminder to what their place in society was.
I mean if we're interested in history and all. Or do you just want the whitewashed history of them?

A fact that many of our resident Trumpsuckers want to ignore.

How can an inanimate object intimidate anyone?

How many were put up coinciding with that generation passing on as a way to remember them?
Look you win. Spike the football. They are coming down. You can smirk and have a party if you like.
I'm not sure why you continue to do battle here. You know they are all coming down as the dem politicians are pushing each other out of the way to be first to bring them down for political points. It's not about removing symbols of hate at this point.

OK Mr Technical, since the war was still going on 150 years ago I doubt the monuments were erected.
The Jim Crow era ran from the 1870's to the 1950's. Of course the monuments were erected in that "era". As to your knowledge of why/ intent, I don't see how you could possibly know that.
