I don't find these articles terribly convincing. It's typical for monuments to be built decades after the event they commemorate. The world war 2 memorial in DC wasn't built until 2004.

I find it difficult to believe that it's just a coincidence that most of these monuments were erected during the eras of Jim Crow, and then the heyday of the KKK, and later still during the Civil Rights era.
There is basically no correlation whatsoever: https://i.redditmedia.com/IE4gFFzTylcD63F5V9xixn0Nh4ESSuWVoK...
