CMV Statues of confederate heroes should not be "taken down" but relocated to museums detailing the tragedy of the Civil War, where people would have to chose to see them

They should not be on general public display along with those who have made significant contributions to the history of the United States of America.  By being in the general public eye this implies our elected representatives support the view that these "heroes" and their ideals, did something to make America great.  These "heroes" did nothing to make America great, rather they put their considerable talents into an attempt to tear America apart.

I also think that even these confederates, whom these statues are images of, would be appalled at the ideals of white supremacists who have adopted them as their icons; projecting their hate based ideals on them.  Confederates did not hate Jews, they did not attempt to create a society ruled by a few with absolute power,  storm trooper, jackboot fascist. They elected a president of their own, but they still attempted to tear the United States of America apart, they failed, Hitler and the Nazi party failed, and that is the "real story."

So, this is a great idea. Except that most confederate statues arent what you think they are. If they were historical artifacts, that represented the civil war, this would be the obvious best choice. But they aren't. 

These statues arent "history". They don't represent reality like a photograph would. Not are they artistic representations of how people felt. They were actually created fairly recently as an attempt to reinvent history. 

Lee statue is from about 1924 and was created to celebrate Jim Crow. Other statues being removed are from the 70s in an attempt to react to the civil rights era. These are recent narratives dedicated to white superiority. 

The real historical artifacts and statues *are* safe. They are in the national archives or in the Smithsonian. Ready for anyone to view incontext.
