You're making the argument that dismantling the monuments is 'skewing' history, public discourse wise..The burden of proof is on you.
Arguably there are more means to learn about history than from monuments than there ever were before. My analogy to the removing of the artifacts of Nazi Germany as not destructive of the teaching of the history of that era, holds.
And I don't see that applying the Emancipation only to states 'in rebellion' as lessening the impact, the significance.

Quote:
Emancipation in those places would come after separate state actions or the December 1865 ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, which made slavery and indentured servitude, except for those duly convicted of a crime, illegal everywhere subject to United States jurisdiction.[6]
