None of those things exist though. 

1) Racism is not a dormant issue. The fact that you say it is dormant is very telling.
2) We are not airbrushing history and events out of public spaces. It is still taught in history classes in public schools. We do not need to put up statues celebrating those that wished to divide our country.
3) Again, we teach the history in school and therefore we understand the different age. 

I feel as though you are acting like the south has to be glorified for the Civil War to be remembered. This is incorrect, they fought for slavery and were traitors to the United States. 

What other country on earth celebrates the traitors that almost destroyed their country? You are attempting to was away what they actually did, by making it about history. We do not have to erect statues and monuments to remember the Civil War happened.
