When there's furor over statues maybe that won't percolate too much historical concern since statues aren't much more than receptacles for pigeon shit. They usually have some fellow on a horse and often with a sword which only tells me this is all part of Game of Thrones.
Zen Yogi: have you ever seen the Game of Thrones, Silas?
Nope but I understand it has a lotta swordfights.
However ...
those Civil War Battlefields will likely come under the scrutiny of ANTIFA as well. It doesn't matter what we call the group since everyone will end up in Guantanamo anyway. Maybe you fondly remember how Obama pushed NDAA which permits locking up American citizens just the same as if terrorists. Sure you loved it then but y'all must really be kicking your heels to know the President can do that now.
Zen Yogi: see you in Guantanamo, Silas
I was going to say they wouldn't put Zen Yogi in Guantanamo but, yeah, they would. See you there, buddy.
The Civil War Battlefields do have a sound basis for representation of the history since they are where they fuckin' fought it. Taking these down or converting the land for condos or some such is not likely to warm Cadillac Man's cockles too much.
I question whether it's preventable given it has gone so far. There's no revisionism since there's no chance the Civil War will be forgotten or at least not any sooner than any other but people seem remarkably good at forgetting them. I'm thinking Las Vegas odds for this would likely favor a bet for the Battlefields will be blown away.
The situation has been forced so much to become a matter of white power that there's not likely any satisfaction until the physical history of it is obliterated. It only takes three words to fuel the destructiveness: Dred Scott Decision.
I don't really care that much since lots of that which is treasured in American history is there because there isn't that much. Maybe it's tragic when they blow up a two-thousand-year-old relic in the Middle East but not so much when the Civil War has only hit two hundred years and change. There's the obvious interest from the immediacy of dynamic times but how that will stack over another two thousand years is questionable.
Leaving out the possibility America hasn't already completely buggered things, there should be all those years and I suspect the significance of the Civil War will fade significantly after much less time than two thousand years. A more socially evolved version of us may think, well, of course they had to free the slaves and then move along to study the history of the 2200s.
It's all about frames of reference again and yours is clear but I suspect future historians will have quite different ones and not so much from the passage of time but rather there must eventually be some amelioration of the artificial importance of such things which is projected so hard everywhere.
