A lot of the history that is being "rewritten" is actually correction of blatantly false narratives. There isn't any value in "history" that was a lie to begin with.
Case in point: Southern history following the Civil War, which was heavily whitewashed and rewritten to paint the South as heroes and victims when that wasn't the case. That version of history is called the "Lost Cause." That includes the statues are a source of controversy and have been so for at least 40 years. The only history the statues represent was the South shaking its fist defiantly at the Civil Rights movement and intimidating Blacks to "know their place." I'm fine with that crap being relegated to museums with plaques explaining the real historical context of them being constructed as anti-Civil Rights propaganda.
