This has always been my argument. If you go to Germany do you see monuments to great Nazi leaders everywhere? The Confederacy is a shameful part of our nation's history.

So if the Confederacy is a shameful part of our history because of slavery and none of it's figures or icons should be honored because of this, what was the portion of our history from 1776-1860? I guess it should all be condemned. Hell, the founding of the country must therefore be shameful if your reasoning is logically extended. Better take down that Washington monument in DC. Might want to redesign the flag too considering the stars and stripes represented a slave state for nearly 100 years.

Right?

That's a very shallow "argument", the holding of which makes one feel morally superior without requiring any effort or self-denial.

Perfect for our modern era, in other words.

Do you see statues of the Kaiser? Yes. What about Napoleon? Yep. What about Oliver Cromwell? Yep.

Heres even a list of all of the statues remaining for Stalin

You need to read more.
