The cultural context was that it was put in the cemetery by butthurt Southerners over 50 years after the war.
Like all of these other "my heritage!!!" monuments that were put up in the 20th century.
It belongs in a history museum as much as a statue of Hitler some Neo-Nazi carved today belongs in one.
