No amount of whitewashing is going to fix that. Almost half of them in-fact celebrate it.

Let me guess, it's their "heritage" that they want to preserve. All 4 years of it - slavery adoring traitors.

This is why monuments glorifying horrors shouldn’t just be taken down, they should be completely destroyed

I understand your sentiment but don't you think they would do the world more good in an exhibit or museum that explains the cultural context? Those who forget are doomed etc.

Generally I would say yes but a lot of confederate monuments were made after the war so aren't so much history but an attempt to rewrite it to make themselves look more favorable.
