Not quite the same thing.

Aside who built what the Arlington Cemetery was land owned and home (Arlington House) to Confederate Army commander Robert E. Lee and his wife.
The Lee family fled the property when Union troops advanced into the Virginia hills outside of Washington, D.C.

The Union Army used the land and house as a camp and headquarters, the land was used to bury fallen soldiers and later it was declared a national military cemetery.

Tearing down a statue does not cleanse the land.
