Statues and Monuments

How come North Americans don't like stautes and monuments? If you visit a European or Latin American cities they are filled with statues and monuments. Guys on horses, military generals, bust of past presidents and monuments of historical dates? North Americans don't seem to big on this kind of stuff. It could be the European and Latin American cities are older, but really Latin American cities aren't that much older than North American ones. Maybe it's english? I wonder if there's lots of statues in England? Maybe we just don't care about our history. I'd like to see more of these.
