Move Confederate Statues to a Confederate Museum

The Issue

In the city of Richmond Virginia, in almost every direction there are some big confederate statues of old war heroes and peoples involved with the Confederacy. We should not destroy the statues, but they should be moved to a place where they are supposed to be acknowledged, like a museum. The symbol of the Confederacy is looked at and mostly frowned upon by minorities, who are still Americans like everyone, they should not be out in the open for everyone to look at because that doesn’t represent our city. Peace and unity amongst everyone is what the city of Richmond stands for.
