Why were they named for Southern leaders in the first place? How often do the losers in a war get to name stuff in honor of their leaders? Is there a Tojo Park in Tokyo? A King George III Park in Washington, DC?
Tojo is to Tokyo as King George III is to London, not Washington D.C..
There are at least two statues of King George III in London and another in Weymouth. He was much loved in England.
There is a Tojo Memorial Gardens in Rochester, NY (But it is in memory of Yasuji Tojo, a photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology) But there IS an Emperor Hirohito Memorial Museum in Tokyo.
In the case of Forrest, it is where he and his wife are buried. It was his property. Forrest was honored mostly for what he did after the war. Putting together the private consortium that built the first railroad bridge to cross the Mississippi river at Memphis was no small accomplishment. Forrest was a prominent businessman and not the KKK madman that uninformed folks like yourself like to portray ignorantly

Have you ever asked the question of why the US Army has bases named Ft Bragg, and FT Hood?
