What history are they covering up by removing them? Absent the context of why they were put there, I’d argue their presence covers up history.

Oh FFS, the issue is monuments built on city and state property to venerate Confederate figures, the large majority erected during Reconstruction. There’s not a single legitimate voice arguing to close Gettysburg, Shiloh, Antietam, or any other Civil War site of historical significance.
