1. The statues are not part of our history. They are symbolic representations of history that happened long before the statue was ever built.

2. Most people don't know more than the first stanza of the Star Spangled Banner. If it was such a big deal, we ALL would have memorized the entire thing when we were kids. The entire thing wasn't even taught. That is how UNimportant it was, and has always been.

3. The documentation of our history still exists, and is still kept safe in museums and national archives. When was the last time you went to see one? Or have you never bothered?
