Because they were the leaders when the region was independent.
Local regions always revere past leaders from a time when that local region was independent.
That's why Texas still honors the leaders from when Texas was an independent country.

The statues were erected throughout post Civil War history.
And no matter when they were erected, deranged progressives always claim that the time period means racism.
