keep the horses, take the generals down
 

I hope everyone here realizes that the people on those horses lost the war, that the statues were erected by a revanchist and explicitly racist political motivations over a generation after the war they participated in, and that it's very rare for the losing side to have any monuments intact. It's far more egregious that we're writing legal protections for the monuments to a slave power.
