Most of them are this. Many Northern cities all also erected soldiers and sailors type monuments during the same time period. It was basically the era of building big public military monuments throughout the country. Personally, I think they all generally look(ed) pretty neat as a reflection of the particular era in which they were built.

But, of course, it's much more fun to try to paint it as something exclusively spooky and sinister in the South that suddenly must be now be "erased".
