Confederate history is not US history

Keeping the statues is fine. Just put them in a museum in a room called the Hall of Traitors. That puts them in historical context quite succinctly.
And BOOM! Everyone's happy.

1. Put the statues on public land in the Confederate States of America

Good luck with that, since such a place doesn't exist. Meanwhile in the United States, we'll reserve our public land to honor our citizens who didn't take up arms against the government in furtherance of enslaving others.

2. I could not agree more.

Though I do like a hall of traitors in a presidential library or musuem. Hey! We could put it in Trumps future library. We will have to make it really small because his library will be a toilet stall with a tablet locked on his twitter feed.
