Did you actively fight for the side that oppressed a minority?  No statue.

All the southerners that fought their own country for the right to own people...no statues.

Those southern governors who fought desegregation....no statues.

Owning slaves before all of this came to a head?  Eh.  Did you help found the country?  Statue.  Otherwise...no statue.  (That's a harder one.)

I've heard there was a law in the 50s that retroactively made all those who fought in the confederacy veterans. 

Why are you anti-veteran, Dino? Huh?! HUH?!

That's the way it's going to go in America. The minority, though, just needs to realize that while they have every right to be vocal about their opposition, the majority rules, so-to-speak.
