No amount of whitewashing is going to fix that. Almost half of them in-fact celebrate it.

Generally I would say yes but a lot of confederate monuments were made after the war so aren't so much history but an attempt to rewrite it to make themselves look more favorable.

Robert E Lee statues exist despite Lee stating he believes no statues of the Confederacy should be built and all should be torn down, as historically he recognized that it only sows division and takes a country longer to heal from.

All such statues (especially of him) would clearly be an act to not allow the country to heal quickly.
