How about we turn them over on their sides and put up signs saying something like "Here lies the statue of a loser who betrayed our country.

No history is destroyed and a message is sent that not only was slavery a terrible thing, but those who seek change through unconstitutional and violent means will be summarily dealt with.

I personally prefer preserving them in their original state and then putting them in a shared, out of public sight, location where students can be taught...what they REALLY represent and why they even exist.
