I know they aren't confederate-era. The thing that I think makes them historically significant is the fact they've caused so much outrage. As such, I think it's important to showcase just how much of a problem they are. It's not like a single statue here or there, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of them.
As I asked in another reply, which would be more impactful, seeing a statue or two with a plaque that says something about hundreds of them existing, or a balcony overlooking a warehouse full of them? Personally, I think the latter would have a much stronger impact on me because it would emphasize just how many of them there are/were.
