Seen people talk about how the history is recorded in books, pictures etc and that the statues celebrate the confederacy so they should be removed.

They don't.
The only real purpose they served when they went up, around 1900 or so, was nostalgia. Maybe also a little bit of intimidation.

I heard one time a mod of angry leftists took down one of these monuments and it fell and broke. A bunch of history started oozing out of it... they all died of history poisoning.
