Due to the fact that after the statue is removed, 2 things can happen too it:
1. It is donated to a museum, where people can learn about the person with more context to history at the time.
2. It is sold to a private collector, who'll most likely sell it to a museum. If they don't, than that could be considered erasing history, in some cases.
Edit 1: To the people messaging me and saying I don't understand the Confederacy, my great great grandfather fought in the civil war for the confederates. He's buried in the oldest graveyard in Houston. That doesn't mean I want a monument honoring him in my city.

6 RepliesYou know, as long as they sell it for a profit, I am good with them going to a museum. A country should never forget where it came from. What bugs me, is the price to remove them. I saw quotes of $330,000 & $370,000. Are they buying the damn equipment to move the statues? I mean, it does not cost but a tenth of that to move a house, so how is a statue that expensive?
