Hmmm. I have no problem with removing monuments to the Confederacy. It doesn't appear this is a memorial to fallen soldiers. If it were, they shouldn't remove it. Even the losers of a war should have their dead respected. I was looking at sites in Normandy, for example, and there is a special cemetery for German soldiers. Most Americans who go there seek out the American cemetery, featured in Private Ryan (there's also a Canadian one, and I think a British one).

This seems to try to depict the South as sort of civilized slave owners (my words, not those of the article below):
