Why there are Confederate statues in states that weren't in the Confederacy?

5. Check your history

Whether in the states of the Confederacy or not the time frame of the monuments specially evidences periods in the early 1900s when KIK, other white separatists and anti civil rights activity was designed to remind who in charge. The UDC did a fabulous job conserving confederate cemeteries in the South to honor the "glorious dead " but also put on a good show about confirming these people as heroes.

In elementary school in the 1950s we were only allowed to refer to the "Waasaah" as the War Between the States. CIVIL WAR was unacceptable.

Read the history. Those who forget it, like the Nazis, are doomed to repeat it. Let's not go there.
