    Most confederate monuments were built 
in the 1900's as a snub to emerging civil 
rights movements, And not by civil war veterans 
like Lee who opposesd the effort


AI Overview:
The vast majority of Confederate statues were 
erected decades after the Civil War ended, with 
the largest spikes occurring between the 1890s 
and 1920s, and a second wave during the 1950s 
and 1960s.This timeline directly correlates 
with periods of intense racial tension and 
political conflict, rather than immediate post-
war mourning:The Jim Crow Era (1890s–1920s): 
Most monuments were erected during this time by 
groups like the United Daughters of the Confederacy 
(UDC). This coincided with the implementation of 
segregation laws, the disenfranchisement of Black 
Americans, and a revival of the Ku Klux Klan.The 
Civil Rights Movement (Late 1950s–1960s): A 
secondary wave of monument building and the 
adoption of Confederate symbols occurred as a 
direct pushback against desegregation and the 
fight for equal rights.

   Remember Robert E Lee who opposed building
ANY statues to himself or other Confederate 
generals.



Robert E. Lee opposed Confederate monuments
Aug 15, 2017 

At the center of the "Unite the Right" 
rally that turned deadly in Charlottesville 
last weekend was a protest of the city's 
plan to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee. 
White supremacists, neo-Nazis and others 
have made monuments to the Confederate 
commanding general a flashpoint - at 
times marching to keep them standing.

But Lee himself never wanted such 
monuments built.

"I think it wiser," the retired military 
leader wrote about a proposed Gettysburg 
memorial in 1869, ".not to keep open the 
sores of war but to follow the examples 
of those nations who endeavored to 
obliterate the marks of civil strife, 
to commit to oblivion the feelings 
engendered."

In his writings, Lee cited multiple 
reasons for opposing such monuments, 
questioning the cost of a potential 
Stonewall Jackson monument, for 
example. But underlying it all was 
one rationale: That the war had 
ended, and the South needed to move 
on and avoid more upheaval.

"Lee believed countries that erased 
visible signs of civil war recovered 
from conflicts quicker," Horn said. 
"He was worried that by keeping these 
symbols alive, it would keep the 
divisions alive."
