List of Confederate monuments and memorials / Thousands and thousands of them.

They were put up in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90, 2000s, '10s

It is worse than you thought. Pro confederate monuments, roads, parks, schools, flags, and other crap have been part of America for years. Up to 2019 when they repaired a confederate statue on the grounds of Camp Chase in Columbus, OH (POW camp for confederate soldiers)
