Confederate statues/flags have been symbols of hate for a very long time. History has little to do with it at this point. They are rallying cries for groups like the kkk. The confederate cause was a cause for the subjugation and imprisonment of black man.
However, I do think the movement to get rid of those statues tends to take things too far sometimes. Wanting to remove every statue of somebody that owned slaves for example. People like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson were great men that deserve to be remembered and immortalized for their deeds. They were also products of their time though, which means both men practiced the vile act of slavery. There needs to be a line drawn in these arguments between the figures that fuel the hate and the truly historic figures.
