The Forgotten Confederate Monuments of New Orleans

In 2017, the city of New Orleans controversially removed four of its Confederate monuments. But few at the time took note of the smaller and less prominent monuments on the neutral ground of Norman C. Francis Parkway in the Mid-City neighborhood. In this shameless cash-grab of a video, I present the histories of these lesser monuments and the men they commemorate - Colonel Charles Didier Dreux, Father Abram J. Ryan, and General Albert Pike.
This one gets surprisingly wild, y'all.

CORRECTION: The drainage and settlement of Mid-City began in the late 19th century, not the turn of the 20th. I recently found a map of New Orleans from 1878 showing a draining machine at the intersection of Bienville Avenue and Hagan Avenue (today's Norm C. Francis Parkway).

I think the width of the road there is also down to train tracks that previously ran down that avenue. Not "interurban" or "trolley" tracks, but an actual railroad. I have seen some reference to the New Orleans, Opelousas, and Great Western Railroad having a line out that way.

Father Ryan was a weak poet who spouted ridiculous nonsense about a failed treasonous uprising. For a great poet from the South, look up Sidney Lanier. Walt Whitman (a Yankee) is the great poet of the Civil War era (and before and after it). Also it's amusing how quickly that murderous White League crowd took to their heels when the Federal troops rolled into town.

I do like that during Pike's speech at 22:00 you show what his actual argument is worth and than we have the delightful drift into delving deeply and drunkenly into delusional derpery.

@anonyarena 2 года назад

I also think it's kind of funny that someone wrote "DIE PIG!" on the bust of someone who's been dead since 1891. The delusions of conspiracy theorists are certainly deep-dives, if nothing else, but as Atun-Shei rightly points out, as conspiracy theories go, this one about Pike is pretty mundane. Nothing quite as flashy-trashy as: "JFK Jr is still alive and will appear in Dealey Plaza to announce, not only that Trump will be reinstated as President-for-life, but that he will replace the traitor Mike Pence to serve as his VP!" Wheeee!

Words cannot explain how much of an amazing feeling it is to get out of a hideously boring college history class, to see that Atun-Shei uploaded right after class. God I love your channel, dude. I’ve watched every video.

Freemason here, I’m glad you looked at Albert Pike; he’s a controversial figure within the lodge as well as outside of it(for the record, we call it the “lodge” instead of “order”). I believe that his defense of slavery was a total contradiction of the lodge’s principles of equality and brotherhood. But he contributed a lot to the rituals that we use today, so he can’t he just written off very easily.

@@albertgreene313 good to see you as well brother. It just goes to show that we have more work to do to forward (take back?) the field of Masonic history from the conspiracy theorists who tend to dominate the discussion.

@albertgreene313 2 года назад

@@09smitel aye, that he did. I doubt we’ll ever be free of the “goats” that supposedly are involved in ritual, it is true that at times we jokingly lean in. But the the emphasis on personal growth and change must be reflected in how lodges, at least in the US, adapt. I do have to say that with Pike come a lot of issues that haunt the more real elements of Masonic history, particularly regarding the civil war. Battle field honor and respect between enemies who are at once brothers and the like can really cause issue or muddy in reflecting our values but that’s probably not for a RU-vid comment section.

@walterreeves3679 2 года назад

Great video. Yep, depressing is the word alright. The references to P.G.T. Beauregard's statue being removed and his activities post civil war point up some of the complexities and paradoxes attending the removal of monuments to former Confederates. In Beauregard's case, you had a monument extolling his services to the CSA while ignoring his later advocacy of civil rights and political equality. Likewise the monument to the White League extolled violent white supremacists while obscuring the role played by former CSA General James Longstreet in defending the reconstruction government against these attacks. What all this points to is that the lost cause mythology was an attack on the historical memory of the South as well as that of the North. In particular, denying the reality of division in the South over Secession and Reconstruction and fabricating the narrative of a monolithic, united, "solid South" before, during and after the war. An exercise in historical falsification that might have served as a template for George Orwell had he been aware of it. The unequal struggle between the adherents of the lost cause and the so-called "scalawags" hasn't gotten the attention it deserves as far as I can see. Which is a shame since it points up that there were available alternatives to the way things eventually panned out post Reconstruction. I think you could make an exceptional video on this score.

Walter Reeves, thank you for your well thought out comments. It is important to note that a person can change for the better and disavow the thoughts and causes that they once supported. The former confederates that you wrote about, turned their lives around and began to work for the "good and justice" . They should be remembered for that work, not their former work for the confederacy!

@suspectsn0thing 2 года назад

@@celiabrickell2500 I've seen many a Lost Cause believer defend Nathan Bedford Forrest despite all the egregiously horrific things he did because "Hey, he said 'sorry' right before he died!" while decrying people who did actual, tangible work to fight AGAINST white supremacist movements after serving the Confederacy. If you want examples of "reformed" Confederates, go for the guys who actually did work, not a slave trader, KKK founder, and racist massacre-committer who said "lol just kidding" one time and then died!

@polferiferus1938 Год назад

Little bit of an explanation. The Accepted Order of the Scottish Rite puts on plays to teach morality to its members. Think of it as a modern version of a medieval morality play. Each appendant body of Freemasonry does morality differently; the Scottish Rite puts on plays, the York Rite conducts overly complicated rituals, the Shriners get drunk and drive around in tiny cars (jk they actually do a lot of charity work and run a bunch of hospitals for kids).
