Make an argument for me why in the 1920s a bunch of confederate monuments went up.
I'll leave an easy to digest article that doesn't divulge too many facts for you, since facts seem to cause an illogical reaction in you

But in short the monuments weren't to honor the dead, they were to give a cult of personality to leaders of the Confederacy who were supposed to identify and pass on the "right" thing to do in Jim Crow era America. So again, these weren't monuments to lost soldiers, these monuments were built to glorify traitors to America in an era where people still believed black people were second class human beings. I mean ****, you can argue that it's not racism, but it's like arguing that Southern Succession wasn't over slavery.
