Is anyone against memorials erected purely for the deaths of Confederate soldiers themselves? There are some memorials in Germany for the war dead that are not in any way a memorial for Nazi Germany.
This.
A memorial for those soldiers killed is not the same thing as a statue with a Confederate leader on a horse.
Maybe we can remove the men from the statues and leave the horses.
Not all of the statues people are vandalizing are statues of leaders on horseback.
