Re: New Orleans attacks Southern ''heritage.''

From a lifelong New Orleans resident

I've been trying my hardest to hold back my opinion, but the pettiness of those opposed to it has grind my gears. The first monument removed honored the Crescent City White League, who erected it in celebration of a failed toppling the post-Civil War biracial city government. The second statue to be removed had an inscription added in 1932 that stated the Yankees withdrew federal troops and "recognized white supremacy in the South". Other states honored confederate generals and presidents.

These statues must be removed and placed in museums, we should not be supporting traitors and racists openly.
