All the monuments I have read about seem to be of some historical and/or artistic significance. How about the rest? In Blanco (I think it was) Texas I've seen a decent-enough bronze in the style of the 1890s, but put up in the 1930s - presumably makework in the Depression. Also in Texas, some resort villages by artificial lakes that didn't exist until the 20thC have crude cast-concrete Confederate soldiers - presumably put up on the assumption that that's what tourists expect to see in the South. Should go for landfill, IMO.
