And that's the problem. Like the video above explains, only a select few museums actually want to have these bulky statues which are difficult to maintain when inside a building (try cleaning such a statue without getting the whole floor drenched in water, for instance)

So my idea would be to put them into a plantation and turn that one into an open-air museum where you can teach about the history of the south, the slavery, and what else they might have been fighting for during the secession. Thar would put plantations into good cultural use instead of using them for weddings...

I actually like this idea. I'd prefer they remain where they are, but better your plan than for them to be vandalized and ruined. And no, I'm not a racist or sexist. But I find the idea of getting rid of history unthinkable.

But then I hear people like Morgan Freeman talk and I can see his point. Maybe racism would go away if we simply ignored the past and stopped talking about what our ancestors did to one another. Maybe we could just forget our way into a society that doesn't belittle, murder, steal from, or demand repartions from each other because of what people did decades/centuries ago that we had no control over.

That would have to go both ways. White Southerners would also have to give up their glorification of the Confederacy and its symbols.
