The majority of those monuments/statues/Etc. were erected long after 'The War of Traitors on the United States' to intimidate blacks and to push Jim Crow laws. If someone wants to worship a bunch of traitorous losers on private, NOT public, property, I have no problem with that and say - go for it. Not to mention that removing them has absolutely no affect on actual/true history, so that argument is dead from the beginning.
