PGT Beureguard campaigned for civil rights, including right to vote for blacks after returning to LA
He was also likely, at least in part, black.
That is a common misconception due to a few things.
One is the changing meaning of the term Creole. Creole was used to indicate the children of European parents born in the Americas, Beauregard referred to himself as French Creole. Creole was also used to indicate people of mixed European and Black heritage, usually called Creoles of Color at that time. Beuregards mother was French & Italian and father was French & Welsh.
The second reason is there were Creoles of color in his family, an uncle on his dad's side married a prominent Creole of color from New Orleans.

Many of them had graduated in the same classes. They had known each other before the war.
Sounds like treason & dishonorable men who don't honor their oaths. Over compensating Southerners are now taken aback if someone doesn't dare stand for the pledge.

They had statues made of them, which were removed over a century later.

So…let’s take this to its most illogical conclusion…should a president order the military to take up arms against the citizenry, well in sugar71’s mind the military members have to fire on citizens of this nation. Oaths and all that…

Some people try to understand history within the context of its time.
Others try to judge their predecessors by applying today's societal fads.

Probably because they would be torn down.
