New Orleans is a city that has always embraced its past, whether good or sordid. Honestly, the Confederacy isn't exactly a big part of the city's heritage. NOBODY was feeling offended by the statue in Lee Circle (the usual agitators probably didn't know who he was).

However, if Mitch Landrieu is bent on taking the city down this road, there will be consequences. I wonder if all the restored slaves' quarters that are part of the guided tours of the city will be demolished as well? Someone should sue the city to compel that action.

Will they be removing the Pirate Jean Paul Laffitte stores, etc. from New Orleans as well? Why celebrate piracy and banditry?
