I never got the 'we deny slavery was bad' from the American South, more that it's used as a hammer by the North to stop talk of greater state autonomy over the federal government.
Plus it's the left trying to tear down history, either the statues or trying to promote communism when that has caused the worst genocides in history.
Not to mention that the civil war's purpose was not to free slaves. That was incidental. If you had told the Northern troops back then that that was what they were fighting for, they would have been very confused.
We celebrate our cultural heritage, not the rancid shit that 3% committed. This is what the progressives will never understand. History repeats is what they say to avail themselves of their shared culture on the way to purge the next group they disagree with. Culture ensures we remember and understand the context.
