No matter what happens to the statues, history will remain the same. Lee, Jackson, Davis, and the rest of the Confederate heroes still betrayed their country. They still led a war of insurrection against the lawful government of the United States and were directly responsible for killing more American soldiers, on both sides, than Bin Laden could have in his wettest of dreams. All so that states would have the "right" to base their societies upon the institution of chattel slavery.
That is the history of these "heroes". Not the statues. And the contributions of these "heroes" will not soon be forgotten, no matter what happens to the statues.
