Isn't that the same feeling people get when looking at those confederate statues?

Or are the confederate statues more of a reminder that "this guy led my great grandfather into a meaningless battle where he got killed"?

Or "this guy strongly supported slavery and he is in the town square wtf"?

As an outsider I probably won't get it fully, but I can try.

This is about half right. One has to recall how unrelentingly racist the US is to fill in the gaps.
