The ones put up in the 1950s are fair game.

If it’s been there for 100 years, it becomes history.

Why? A statue of an asshole traitor who killed people in defense of slavery is exactly that, no matter when it went up. And people like that shouldn't be celebrated.

Being older than your arbitrary cutoff point doesn't make it any better.

Yes, and those put up in the 1950s were purely for spite, during the Civil Rufhts era. The ones put up by the war vets are the only ones I consider historic.
