re: New Orleans monument removal question

It maybe the history buff in me but if they fixed the inscription, I don't see the problem with the monument being there.
-----------------------------------------------------------
As a "history buff", I'd think you'd want the original inscription to remain intact. After all, that was the popular sentiment at that point in history.




It's still a significant enough event that shows that Reconstruction did not go as smoothly as everyone would think and how different of a state it was, even after the civil war. It should be marked in some way.

Does anyone, even "non- history buffs", actually think Reconstruction went smoothly? It was a clusterfrick, which yielded actions like the Liberty Place riots.

As far as how different things were and remembering our past history goes, there's a USSC case that serves that purpose. Surely, as a history buff, you're familiar with Plessy v. Ferguson.
