This monuments to the Lost Cause of the Confederacy are not meant to remember history or truth. They are meant to promote fear and dominance.

The truth and history of the City of New Orleans is that it was the largest city of the Confederacy. That is both truth and history. So you mean to tell me, that by removing them, we are not afraid of our history or truth about the city? The monuments represent the truth and history of the city. Agree? So by removing them, you're trying to deny and hide the truth of the city. Are we to remove monuments of the 12 US Presidents who owned slaves in their life times, including George Washington?
