I’m not sure exactly what you are trying to say. Just to be clear:
There are many folks who don’t believe it’s obviously okay to take down civil war statues. They find it a gross overreach and disrespectful of ancestors. Some of them are good people I respect greatly, but disagree with vehemently on this issue. That’s why it’s an ongoing controversy where I live.
And some who don’t want to lose the statues are academics, frequently called elite lately in various places.
