How did you become an Alabama fan? Guessing that is what northshorebamaman means.

Seems unlikely you would have decided to go to school in Alabama. So what's the connection?

North Shore is because I lived on the North Shore of Oahu at the time I joined. Bad choice looking back because I forgot there is a northshore in Louisiana and it occasionally causes confusion.

My dad went to Bama on an athletic scholarship and raised us all as Bama fans. Hard to undo all that team conditioning from an early age.

I have lived in Alabama before though. It was interesting.

Jesus.

I've never been sober in New Orleans. I knew a number of them had already been removed.

I ASSUMED some of them were in Jackson Square. I know they want the Andrew Jackson one.

To date:

"Robert E. Lee stood erect, arms crossed over his chest, as his statue was ousted from its prominent 133-year perch in the heart of New Orleans.

Just after dawn, workers in masks and protective vests had converged around Lee Circle, a traffic roundabout between the city's bustling central business district and the wealthy Garden District neighborhood of antebellum mansions."

"Bitter disputes have erupted on New Orleans streets in recent weeks as the city has proceeded with its deeply contested plan to take down an equestrian statue of Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard and a bronze sculpture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The Battle of Liberty Place obelisk, a marble monument that celebrates the 1874 uprising of a white supremacist militia against Louisiana’s Reconstruction state government, came down in April."

What else is in Jackson Square? Haven't been in New Orleans since 85 or so. Could have sworn I saw some other ones there. I remember the Lee statue, but don't think I saw the other two mentioned.

But as of now it appears that the Andrew Jackson statue is still there.

When were a large amount of them put up and what was happening in our country during those time periods? This isn't difficult, and anyone pretending they know anything about this should know the answers.

So just your opinion then, ok.
