"Many recognize it as a part of our history and should not be removed,"

Those who believe that removing statues of Confederate officers and politicans will somehow destroy the record of their place in history will no doubt be pleasantly surprised to learn of the existence of books.

FYI, most Confederate monuments were erected in the 20th century, not to honor history, but to intimidate black people. The same goes for flying the battle flag of Virginia (incorrectly called the "Confederate" flag).

Also FYI, the historically accurate Confederate flag is the white flag of surrender. They lost, and that's a Very Good Thing.

"not because they are Nazi's or White Supremacists,"

According to them.

"but because they see the Civil War as being not just about slavery but also about state's rights."

Any time a Southern apologist invokes "states' rights," it's in defense of slavery, segregation, or legally-sanctioned discrimination. The "states' rights" that the South fought to preserve by going to war was the states' right to allow slave ownership.

You're just regurgitating the same old lies. The War Between the States was about slavery and nothing else. The South fired the first shot. Their generals and politicians do not deserve to be memorialized in publicly-funded monuments.
