Without facts? How 'bout you try this one for size?
This is what I've learned from John J. Winberry's scholarly work on civil war monuments, feel free to research his work on your own like I did (and only skimmed a bit, I already knew all this, but I want to take this as an opportunity to learn American history in detail, your country has a very short, yet still, very intense and eventful history):
_There are several monuments to the civil war, from national parks preserving battlefield sites to statues, and all the way through cemeteries, individual tombstones, memorials to the fallen and historical forts/their preserved remains, and the first confederate.
_The first civil war monuments that fit into the "Civil War statues" category, were courthouse monuments, which were statues and monuments to fallen Confederate and Union soldiers and war heroes, part of a thing called "The monument movement", where both sides built in their respective communities, said memorials to their boys (and a few documented gals), this is where it all starts.
_Needless to say, I'm gonna be biased in favor of statues that commemorate the fight for emancipating ideals, than those commemorating the fight to keep the "right" to own people (Those are the actual "muh state rights" that matter).
_The civil war monuments that we're discussing here, are confederate monuments built since the late 1800's barely after the war ended in 1865. some of them still being built as late as the freaking 60's (yeah..., those 60's maaaan!!), and they were built as reminders to black people to "know their place", and thus, removing them isn't preserving any story (a statue built in the 60's? come on nobody's that stupid, take your mask off).
_Not to mention just monuments, but how many a school was named after Confederate war criminals as reaction and massive COPE, when segregation in schools became illegal after Brown V. Board of Education.
These are the facts, and don't worry this is not for you, this is for anyone coming across your meme, so they have a properly informed, real time contrasting take.
I mean, I know you'd hate to see the Politics stream turned into a right wing echo chamber, wouldn't you?
