From the graph, you can see that both Union and Confederate memorials peaked around 1910. My guess is that the Civil War generation was dying out at that time.

It absolutely did lmfao the Klan was formed by Confederate vets and if I recall the Redshirts were as well. Both scared freed black men from polls to secure victories for southern conservative dems

It's way more complicated than that. You have to study the history of the KKK, why it was formed, how it changed over the years with different goals. KKK in the 1920s was very popular in the West and the North, was anti-immigrant. Reconstruction KKK, Redshirts, and other groups were a reaction to Civil War vets not being able to vote or hold office, see carpetbaggers. There was also a lesser rise in KKK activity in response to Civil Rights. But that has nothing to do with Confecerate memorials.

The vast majority of these statues were put up specifically to intimidate black people, but keep spewing revisionist history

Of course. Let's destroy all American culture to make way for the socialist/communist/Marxist/globalist revolution. We must edit history so that it fits our narrative. People with a national identity are harder to control.

We study history to learn from it. Why can't ignorant Leftists learn from 20th-century history how socialism was such a horrible failure?

Pretty obvious a cetain ilk isn't learning when all they see is consolation prizes for losing their slavery campaign.

Addressing the OP, why do Leftists say Confederate statues were erected as a reaction to the Civil Rights Movement when that is factually not true? Another bizarre myth I hear is that the Democratic and Republican Parties "switched." Where does this misinformation come from?

'Bout 3ya, there was this CentralNYGuy... who kept asking me something about what would today's Leftists say to George Washington or vice versa if they could regarding a particular topic, and I said I don't know, and then reiterated my initial comment. He repeated this for a couple of days. My comment? It was 100% in total agreement with his OP meme. Yet he persisted in trying to argue against me. For agreeing with him.

Same with that coin. Stone Mountain. 1925. A popular classic. I own one. I collect coins. Image went right past him, as did my point.

Your "logic" escapes me. Please explain. What has this commemorative coin got to do with anything? US Mint issued it.

The effort to create a Confederate monument on Stone Mountain began in the 1910s. Yet, the monument was only completed in 1972. Spanning multiple efforts across more than 50 years, the carving’s history is full of twists and turns. https://www.atlantahistorycenter.com/monument/

Yeah, and?

The Mint sold that half dollar for $1.00. The profits went to help fund the monument.
CraigThompson

So the Federal government helped fund it. Why do you think the Federal government funded a Confederate memorial? Think about that while you spin on your hampster wheel.

How about we write history as accurately as possible so we can learn from it?

I agree! But erecting monuments to Confederate generals who were traitors to the American Constitution is not the way to honor Southern American history. How about replacing the Confederate monuments with statues honoring the Revolutionary War heroes from the South, or a WWII hero from the South like Audie Murphy?

That's the view in Great Britain. I took a tour of Westminster Abbey in London and the guide pointed out the famous generals buried in the Abbey who were killed by the "American Rebels" in the American War of Independence.

The Confederates often referenced the American Revolution, comparing it to their struggle to create a new country. There was even a unit dressed in revolutionary war uniforms.

The winners didn’t have a problem with at the time.
Its only losers that advocate the erasure of history and culture.
