Give them time! The Leftists will soon be coming with their spades, to dig up and desecrate those graves.
Suggesting that the union fought a war that is “a lost cause” is an insult to the thousands of soldiers buried there.
Well, the South lost, didn't it. So wasn't it a "lost" cause?

De-reconciliation.
The REAL History ? NO !!!
they indoctrinate young people with The US started WWII when we dropped the Atomic Weapons on Japan.
‘Most of the soldiers in the south never even owned slaves.’
completely irrelevant; they were fodder for their politicians, who certainly made no secret of their intentions backing secession...to the extent that they benefitted the confederate cause they were aiding the extension and continuance of slavery...
‘It will no enlighten those ignorant to the causes behind the war in the first place, slavery being only one of them.’
there was one cause of the actual war, without which there would not have been any war; secession...if you need any enlightenment of the reasons backing secession, read the declarations of cause for the states of SC, GA, TX, and MS...

If the South was fighting for slavery, who was fighting against slavery?
A national tragedy.
Certainly, there are enough Republican votes in the GOP House to stop the removal of the monument.
Since they will be breaking the law, What will “intervention from Congress” accomplish?
The monument is a testament to reconciliation and moving forward. Opinions like yours’ are part of the reasons countries have Civil Wars.
And Dems call Trump a”Hitler and “dictator” wannabe. Look who’s usurping the law for his personal beliefs.
Removal of Washington, Jefferson (at DC and Rushmore), Stone Mountain monuments etc. can’t be far behind.../sarc...well maybe not.
We used to joke that the global warmists wanted to tax us for exhaling CO2, and now it’s not a joke.
“Yet in the wake of the George Floyd moral panic, this memorial was scheduled for removal, though its removal is being done in violation of several federal laws and the clear text of the legislation, which excludes graves.”
Who scheduled the removal of the monument?
When did these unnamed people order the removal of the monument?
To quote one of the early Vanderbilts.
When do they take down the Vietnam “Wall”?
Statues, inscriptions, memorial stones, the names of streets—anything that might throw light upon the past had been systematically altered.

Some states mentioned slavery in their declarations of secession, others did not. Most Confederate soldiers were not slaveholders and fought out of loyalty to their states. Ending slavery in the areas under Confederate control (but not the loyal slave states) became the Union aim only as of January 1, 1863, almost 18 months after the first battle of Manassas/Bull Run. Lincoln’s call for troops at the beginning of the war was to “suppress rebellion” not to end slavery.
Off topic - Meanwhile in modern times scumbag murderers like Dead Ted Kennedy are buried there with countless others. Haven’t heard if Xiden is going there, it’s just wrong to pee on a grave in Arlington.
Democrats are opposed to reconciliation. Blood feud mentality defines them, and not just on this issue.
Getting more destruction accomplished while Joe is still around. They know their days are numbered.
