I've never heard a revisionist argument for taking down a statue. Which one(s) are you referring to?

  The one with Abe breaking the chains of a slave and rising from his knees is the one I was thinking of when I wrote this. I'm not sure what its called I don't live in the USA

    I'm familiar with the statue and the criticisms, and I don't know of any revisionist arguments against it. Which of their reasons is revisionist? Sibling comment links to the Wikipedia article, which links to a news article, in case you need a refresher.

      There were calls for it to be pulled down. IMO that is revisionist for the reasons I already outlined.
