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.

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.
