In fairness, most of those "memorials" they're tearing down were not erected by grieving families after the Civil War. They were put up by racists (who happened to be Democrats) during the Jim Crow era. They were erected to intimidate people they didn't like. I think of it pretty much like people tearing down statues of Stalin after the USSR crumbled - it's interesting, but ultimately doesn't mean a whole lot.

Now if they're trying to dig up graves of Civil War veterans, or tearing down real memorials, I have a problem.
