The handful of statues that are actual civil war era artefacts we can keep, imo. Put them in a museum or an exhibit in a state park or something. Give it proper context, but let it exist.

The vast majority of them were built after the civil war in the jim crow era south, and those we can break into gravel and use for something fitting.
