I meant to point that fact? out, but I guess I was not very clear on it and maybe still not.

It really depends on what the statue is depicting. A memorial to fallen soldiers is fine, even if they were on the wrong side. I don't think anyone is trying to whitewash our history, and they absolutely should not. A statue/monument trying to somehow ameliorate or lessen the evil that was slavery would be inappropriate. From what I've read, this statue does exactly that. Which is why it has been deemed inappropriate in a place that is supposed to honor war dead.
