Park officials say the Confederate monuments in Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania are staying put, according to our affiliate WSET.
The national park has not received any complaints about the monuments, park spokesperson Katie Lawhon told USA Today.
"These memorials, erected predominantly in the early and mid-20th century, are an important part of the cultural landscape," Lawhon said in an email to USA Today.
Lawhon told reporters that the park's mission includes interpreting the actions, motivations, and causes of the soldiers.
Gettysburg National Military Park focuses on the Battle of Gettysburg, which was the bloodiest battle during the Civil War.
If a feature at a National Park is more than 50 years old, then it is considered historic and protected. It would be greatly against Park regulations to remove those statues as they are now part of the Park landscape.
As an example, historians these days pretty much agree that the famous Bloody Pond at the Shiloh National Military Park did not exist as the time of battle. However, it has been a fixture on the Park’s land for many years, and it therefore cannot go away.

Of course they will because we have a racist president, donchano.
Most likely though, there could be an effort to have a “legacy” internet that will never be touched by these types of bots you have have posted. Like a storage place of knowledge. But it will require the tech to fight off such offensive tech.
“If a feature at a National Park is more than 50 years old, then it is considered historic and protected.”
Not true at Cape Lookout National Seashore. They’re letting some structures over 50 years rot where they stand.
Every dystopian novel has just such an underground place to store knowledge,of,how it used to be. Maybe it’s the tens of millions of hard drives we all own in our computers, in our backup drives, and in our home servers.
I can just see some underground bunker data center held together with baling wire and tape run by counterrevolutionaries / true freedom fighters. You need connectivity and lots of power, though, unlike books and hand-cranked printing presses. This makes them a) easy to cut off and b) easy to find.
Also, these would be vulnerable as soon as they connected to the network.
