I've never looked, but I'm guessing it's a short list of people who committed treason and were subsequently honored and memorialized through tax dollars by those they committed the act against. I don't see it as a race issue (although that's what it largely became) as much as it's weird to honor someone that wasn't much different than Timothy McVeigh or Eric Rudolph. Instead of taxes or making a Dominionist paradise, Lee betrayed his country over slavery.

Same here. The only exception to where a statue of Lee should never come down is on the battlefield at Gettysburg for example.  That statue depicts actual history on that space of ground it is on. A statue of Lee in a park in Arkansas or wherever doesnt depict actual history but instead represents something else entirely imo.
