Is it wrong to remove Confederate statues?

Removing these monuments and statues seems like white washing the past to me. There have even been significant calls to tear down the statue of Christopher Columbus in New York because of the way he treated natives. Forgetting your past, no matter how dark it is, is not the way to deal with issues today. What do you think?

It makes less sense to have a statue of a Confederate Soldier up than it would to have a statue of Hitler up. Confederates were traitors to the country and the President was actually planning on charging him with treason had Grant not threatened to resign in protest.
