A great many Southerners do not believe those statues stand for slavery. They believe those statues stand for Southern pride, especially the pride in how valiantly they fought a terrible war against a more powerful enemy.
They're deluded that the generals weren't fighting to maintain slavery. But that delusion is genuine.
