Confederates were enemies.  When we defeated Saddam , statues of him came down.  When we defeated the Nazis , we left no statues of Adolf Hitler standing.  If anything,  we could put Confederate Memorabilia into museums like we do with Nazi memorabilia , as a reminder of the terrible people in history.

There were no statues of Hitler.

The toppling of the Saddam statue was a staged photo op. The famous Iraqi weightlifter who helped out says he now regrets his involvement and wants it back.

Places of interest related to Hitler, such as the building he was born in and the site of the 1936 Olympics, have essentially been "de-Nazi-fied".

Christians tore down beautifully carved statues of greek gods/goddesses in Rome when they converted.

The majority of the Old Testament is ancient Hebrews tearing down Asherah poles.
