Explain why we should remove monuments to Robert E. Lee built in the late 1800s that were not viewed as controversial in any way at the time.

Also I don't see what a statue not being controversial at the time of creation has to do with anything. If there were a giant statue of Riddler in the middle of Berlin, I would expect them to get rid of it.
