Looking for some way to keep Northerners to keep on fighting, slavery became the raisons d'être with Northerners delighted not to take the blame any longer for the unpopular/unjust war.

They might as well put up a statue of Ben Butler while they’re at it.
The state legislature needs to step in here and rein in this PC whitewash of history. Utterly outrageous.
It’s a shame. Though on the losing side Robert E. Lee had much to be admired in his character.
Lincoln’s obstinacy and wrongheadedness cost the nation 640,000 lives.
We are still feeling the effects financially of Emancipation.
It was a grand mess all around.
Let the descendants of the valiant on both sides keep their monuments!
Where in Hell is Jindal?
And next time their levees fail, let them get help only from the PC crowd.
I wonder when they’ll be changing the name of Fort Hood. We definately don’t want to “offend” anybody. They might want to go off on Americans.
Where is it illegal to sell a Confederate flag?
Now all that’s left is Crack.
You should put your personal comments in the comment section.
The opening lines that you posted:
“”Who are the stupid people who want to bury the history of this nation? Mayor Mitch Landrieu is so wrong about the history of the South.....it was A War of Northern Aggression, all Europe knew about the heavy tariffs imposed on the South....””
are NOT part of the article.
OK so this whole farce about removing the Confederate statues is ridiculous. But tossing in nonsense like that does your cause no good.
start a campaign to have Southerners boycott New Orleans
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Liberty_Place
“The Battle of Liberty Place was an attempted insurrection by the Crescent City White League against the legal Reconstruction state government on September 14, 1874, in New Orleans, where it was then based. Five thousand members of the White League, a paramilitary organization of the Democratic Party, made up largely of Confederate veterans, fought against the outnumbered Metropolitan Police and state militia. The insurgents held the statehouse, armory, and downtown for three days, retreating before arrival of Federal troops that restored the elected government. No insurgents were charged in the action. This was the last major event of violence stemming from the disputed 1872 gubernatorial election. Both the Democrat John McEnery and Republican William Pitt Kellogg claimed victory; the U.S. government supported Kellogg...
In 1891, the city erected a monument to commemorate and praise the insurrection from the Democratic Party point of view, which at the time was in firm political control of the city and state and was in the process of disenfranchising most blacks. The white marble obelisk was placed at a prominent location on Canal Street. In 1932, the city added an inscription that expressed a white supremacist view.”
We love Nawlin’s.......used to go every year but if they’re going the way of these knucklehead revisionists....screw it. We won’t go back..........ever!
Specifically, slavery was legal in the Union slave states of Missouri, Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky until the ratification of the 13th amendment in December of 1865, 8 months after the surrender of the Confederacy.
How long must we wait until the circles = 0 O O 0
are removed once their satisfaction of our current magic mulatto is gone? Next year?
GO TRUMP GO CRUZ ~ YOU WIN OR WE LOSE!
We isis/taliban type government officials trying to erase the history of this country.
WHEW. Finally I’ll be able to walk through the streets of New Orleans, outside the safety zone known as The French Quarter, without worrying about the natives.
I lived on Lee Circle in 1965.
