... Plenty of people can "professionally" do art and the don't merit positions in a museum.

Historical value is not self explanatory.

You are just attempting to take bare minimum standards for your statement which makes it nonsense. Some of these statues do hold some artistic value, but most are unknown artists holding little renown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_B._Taney_(sculpture) is an example of a statue that was taken down and did not hold any value beyond honoring a man who has the dred scott decision has his sole legacy around 180 years after his death.


I see nothing wrong with that statue. Whoever created it was talented.

The vast majority of these statues were created long, long after the civil war as a protest against civil rights. If they were made during the 19th century, they might have some historical significance. But almost all of them were just made because some racist hicks didn't like black people. Toss them in the trash. They don't even belong in a museum. The Confederacy lasted four years. It's nobody's heritage.
