Remembering our Louisiana history

Dedicated in 1884, the Robert E Lee monument in New Orleans had many prominent and important historical figures in attendance. CSA president Jefferson Davis, General PGT Beauregard, and two of Robert E Lee’s Lee’s children were in attendance for this unveiling, Mary Custis Lee, and Mildred Childe Lee. Some 21 years later, Mildred would pass away in New Orleans whilst visiting friends in New Orleans.
Of interest, Lee’s eldest daughter, Mary Custis Lee, was once arrested for refusing to leave a segregated blacks only section of a streetcar in Alexandria Virginia.
A very fitting tribute to the meaningless and insignificance of those who removed the Robert E Lee statue

Of all things to waste public funds on. Erecting this monument was one of the worst.
New Orleans could have invested that money and had something useful.

Getting rid of PGT Beauregard was insanity considering he was from New Orleans, died in New Orleans, and was a civil rights advocate. Shows you it really has nothing to do with muh racism and is about destroying the past.

Meh, that doesn't even speak truth to power. Ain't got shite on this.

You’ve heard it said that those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it? I would argue that those who shite on their own history are doomed to live in shite.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather statues of winners, and successful people. Not a bunch of suckers and losers. I don’t care who they are and the only winners that have ever been in NOLA are the Saints and celebrities, so those are the only statues that should exist in NOLA. EOD.

I wonder what civil rights advocates from back then would think if they saw America today

The Soro's funded fake democrats will be arriving soon to protest your racism.

Lee was a traitor who should have been exiled with the rest of the Confederate hierarchy

They are not (statistically speaking) “winners”.
As to celebrities you refer to, whom exactly?
None of them are undefeated or anything near perfect.
I realize your response is merely your tragically hip response to elicit responses but it’s so inept that I just couldn’t resist. It probably merited being ignored rather than addressing it though because at the bottom of it, u r dum and I rose to your shitty bait.
Shiny hook was so shiny….

Beauregard was also a person of color.

One more win than the confederacy.

Lol
You are an idiot. The Confederates were fighting a tyrannical government who was levying unfair taxation on the South for about 15 years prior to the start of the Civil War.

Now reconcile that with the sentiments of the right to self government declared in the Declaration of Independence. Robert E Lee was the son of “Light-Horse Harry” Lee, a very prominent officer in the Continental Army who fought for Independence from England under George Washington, whom he delivered the official eulogy at his funeral. You don’t think he understood full well what fighting for the right to self government was about?
I think it’s you who remain in the dark as to what the cost of liberty is, and what these men were actually fighting for. Lee was a man of honor and duty to his state of Virginia. He did what he thought was in line with that call to service.
