15:04Now PlayingThe mayor of New Orleans just gave an awesome speech on what the Confederacy REALLY was. Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich, and Kim Horcher, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Last week, the City of New Orleans removed a 16-foot statue of General Robert E. Lee from the center of Lee Circle. This was the last of four Confederate monuments that were taken down in the city after the city council had declared them to be a public nuisance. The removal of the statues and monuments led to divisive political debate and heated exchanges at the sites, and even some arrests.
In an address that has since gone viral, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu highlighted that these monuments weren’t innocent commemorations of a bygone era. Instead, these were erected as part of a movement known as The Cult of the Lost Cause as a way to rewrite history and make it that the Confederacy wasn’t on the wrong side.”
