OK, Russian bot.

Removing "status", as you not so eloquently put it (I'm guessing you mean "statues") doesn't rewrite history.  I can, however, give you an example of how the statues do rewrite history

Kentucky was a slave state that never seceded.  90,000 Kentuckians fought for the Union.  35,000 fought for the Confederacy.  There are 72 monuments to the Confederacy in that state, and only 2 to the Union.  Who is rewriting history?
