Your nation lost.
I suppose anyone who is able to consider themselves fan of the Confederacy might want to preserve its heritage but it’s not an issue for conservatives.
I am not a neo-secessionist or consider myself part of the Confederacy (maybe part of Dixie, but that is a cultural, not a national identity).
It’s an issue if history in general. Confederate and Union soldiers alike were all Americans, and those who died on both sides should be venerated by this nation as those who fell to protect what they saw as sacred. Where this effects contemporary conservatism is the potential of leftists to continue to use the effacement of the American heritage (in all manifestations) to erase our identity, a subject very important to American conservatives.

This is all American History.
Those who want to preserve the heritage of the Confederacy would also want to preserve the heritage of the opposing force...
Realistically, you cannot have one without the other, you know...
That's not for you to define. It's an issue to me.

I thought Conservatives cared about the honest and open discussion of history, bad or good, rather than the sweeping of uncomfortable chapters of the past under the rug.
We'll discuss this further, I'm certain, when Antifa moves on to agitate for the removal of something that you *do* consider to be "an issue".
In case you missed it, in 1953 ALL Confederate monuments were added to the register of US military monuments, and Confederate soldiers were included into the honor rolls. So yes, this IS a thing for "Yankees" to consider.
If the anarchists can remove Confederate monuments, they will go for US military monuments too.
