New Orleans Civil War Minute: Bishop Polk
Bishop Leonidas Polk, graduate of West Point and classmate of Jefferson Davis, went into the church following his graduation from the United States Military Academy. With the commencement of the Civil War, Polk was commissioned a Lt. General within the Confederate army, due to his connections and friendship with Jefferson Davis. Before the Civil War, Polk was the Bishop of Trinity Episcopal Church in New Orleans.
New Orleans - City Video Guide
New Orleans, Louisiana, is a port city straddling the Mississippi River. Its mix of cultural influences makes 'The Big Easy' one of the liveliest and most popular destinations in the USA.
Lined with bars, clubs and restaurants, the French Quarter is known as the birthplace of jazz. It's also where you'll find Bourbon Street, one of the most famous party streets in the world.
Many of the city's main attractions are also found here. Start your day with a coffee in Jackson Square, which is lined with grand old buildings including St. Louis Cathedral.
Cross over into the former Warehouse District, now packed with galleries and chic boutiques. Here you'll find Memorial Hall, Lousiana's oldest museum, dedicated to Civil War history.
New Orleans' distinctive cuisine often gives a fiery kick, and specialties like gumbo are available everywhere. But music is what feeds the city's soul, and at the jazz or blues clubs around Frenchman Street the good times roll on and on, late into the night.

Civil War Relic in a Residential Suburb of New Orleans
Hidden amongst the houses and apartments in this suburb of New Orleans, is a small relic from the Civil War. This old powder magazine was part of a larger piece of land called Camp Parapet. This is all that is left of a place that once trained and housed Confederate soldiers, then Union soldiers once they took the camp over.

Amazing Grace ft. Barack Obama | Charleston to Baton Rouge | Made in New Orleans
Please visit for the updated version.
Soundtrack | The beat and chorus samples audio from the White House archives of President Obama singing Amazing Grace during his eulogy of Pastor Clementa Pinckney, one of nine Black men and women murdered in 2015 at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Charleston, South Carolina. Rap lyrics written and performed by K.G., a New Orleans musician and father, who is accompanied by his mom riffing and singing “Amazing Grace.” As K.G. reflects on Charleston and Obama’s eulogy, he recalls moments from high profile police shootings of Black men and witness videos that have spread through social and news media.
Visuals | A Black man costumed as the Statue of Liberty walks New Orleans’ streets, passing Confederate monuments, several of which the City Council deemed a public nuisance after the Charleston Church shooting. Still and moving images sourced online recall the lives and deaths of Tamir Rice, Walter Scott, Alton Sterling, Pastor Clementa Pickney, Reverend Sharonda Singleton, Myra Thompson, Reverend DePayne Middleton-Doctor, Cynthia Hurd, Susie Jackson, Ethel Lee Lance, Tywanza Sanders and Reverend Daniel Simmons, Sr.
Monuments | After Charleston, the New Orleans immediately aligned with a national movement to remove symbols honoring the Confederacy in the U.S. Civil War of 1861-1865. The City identified four prominent monuments to moved indoors and preserve as historical artifacts: Robert E. Lee Statue, Jefferson Davis statue, P.T. Beauregard statue and Liberty monument. These monuments have yet to be moved amidst legal actions filed by dissenters and harassment of city officials and contractors. Several contractors who bid on statue removal work received financial and death threats to their business, family and employees after pro-monument harassers located them via records published online. A hired contractor began measuring a removal site as early stage prep work and return to his office near Baton Rouge to find his car burned. Others in New Orleans, such as activists organized as Take 'Em Down NOLA, believe that removing four monuments is not enough. Take 'Em Down compiled a long list of symbols of White supremacy they want removed from city and privately owned spaces that interface with public, educational and civic life. takeemdownnola.org/

New Orleans, the Civil War and the Lost Confederate Cause
The population of New Orleans is currently over 50% Black, Creole or mixed heritage. More people identify as Black than not. To many, Confederate monuments celebrate 19th century leadership that believed in a war to preserve slavery and brutality against Black people. Political and economic resentment were also major sparks of the war; Southern states felt disenfranchised from political seats in the North. Seceding and forming a new nation where it was legal to divide, sell and own people was a way for those in power, predominately of European heritage, to maintain economic and social privilege at the cost of Blacks, Native Americans, enslaved or indentured Whites and other servants.
Those with lineages of enslavement may imagine stories of ancestors’ horrors of forced labor, murder, rape, beatings, separation from family, poor living conditions or fears due to immoral causes. Those with lineages of enslaving people may imagine ancestors participating in immoral acts. Descendants of Confederate fighters may imagine ancestors’ willingful or coerced wartime sacrifices. Many have ancestors of multiple lineages, are detached from the issue or worry more about other people or things. For too many, however, public display of Confederate monuments legitimize unfair legacies born from laws and practices of slavery and war. They are demoralizing reminders of painful times and feel like official, contemporary validation of historical acts of gross oppression and militarized atrocity.
The Confederacy officially surrendered to the Union in 1865 and race influenced divisions, opportunities and struggles for civil rights still feel like day-to-day matters of life, death or liberty for many today.

Travel video about destination New Orleans in the United States of America.
A fun-filled metropolis at the mouth of the Mississippi, New Orleans is a cultural melting pot and the birth place of jazz. In 1682, the Frenchman Robert Cavalier, declared this Mississippi region to be French territory and named it ‘La Louisiana’. However, Napoleon later accepted $15 million from President Jefferson and in 1840, it was the fourth largest city in the U.S.A. The Garden District is a sought-after residential area in which there is an abundance of magnolia trees, palms, shrubs and flowers. The city’s largest graveyard, the Metairie Cemetery, has over 7,000 graves and an array of spectacular mausoleums which astound the eye.Gumbo Soup, Jambalaya, Hurricane Cocktails and Dixie Beer are just a few of the traditional refreshments on offer in this carefree, non-stop city. Just outside the city, there are the swampy bayous alive with many exotic species. The Oak Valley Plantations, whose great wealth derived from the sugar cane industry prior to the American Civil War, part of which is reminiscent of some of the scenery from Hollywood’sGone With The Wind.In the 19th Century, New Orleans was North American capital of the Voodoo cult and today, it is a city of unique atmospheres, flavors, contrasts and Mardi Gras, an extraordinary city!

The New Orleans Massacre of 1866
The New Orleans Massacre of 1866 occurred on July 30, during a violent conflict as white Democrats including police and firemen attacked Republicans, most of them African American, parading outside the Mechanics Institute in New Orleans. It was the site of a reconvened Louisiana Constitutional Convention. The Republicans in Louisiana had called for the Convention, as they were angered by the legislature's enactment of the Black Codes and its refusal to give black men the vote. Democrats considered the reconvened convention to be illegal and were suspicious of Republican attempts to increase their political power in the state. The riot stemmed from deeply rooted political, social, and economic causes, and took place in part because of the battle between two opposing factions for power and office. There were a total of 150 black casualties, including 44 killed. In addition, three white Republicans were killed, as was one white protester.
The national reaction of outrage at the Memphis riots of 1866 and this riot nearly three months later led to Republicans gaining a majority in the United States House of Representatives and the Senate in the 1866 election. The riots catalyzed support for the Fourteenth Amendment, extending suffrage and full citizenship to freedmen, and the Reconstruction Act, to establish military districts for the national government to oversee areas of the South and work to change their social arrangements.
The convention met at noon on July 30, but a lack of a quorum caused postponement to 1:30. When the convention members left the building, they were met by the black marchers with their marching band. On the corner of Common and Dryades streets, across from the Mechanics Institute, a group of armed whites awaited the black marchers. This group was composed of Democrats who opposed abolition and led by Mayor John Monroe.
After the reorganization of Louisiana, Monroe was reelected Mayor of New Orleans. He took office in March 1866. In March 1867, he was deposed by General Philip Sheridan under the Reconstruction Act of Congress, under the accusation that he had aided in the riot of July 30. In April Monroe visited Washington and was sympathetically received by President Andrew Johnson and Attorney-General Henry Stanbery, who promised his restoration to office and the removal of Sheridan. However, this promise was thwarted by later and more vigorous Reconstruction efforts.
The national reaction to the New Orleans riot and to the earlier Memphis riots of 1866, was one of heightened concern about the current Reconstruction strategy and desire for a change of leadership. In the 1866 House of Representatives and Senate elections, the Republicans won in a landslide, gaining 77% of the seats in Congress.
Early in 1867, the First Reconstruction Act was passed – over the President's veto – to provide for more federal control in the South. Military districts were created to govern the region until violence could be suppressed and a more democratic political system established.
The Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments. Arguably one of the most consequential amendments to this day, the amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws and was proposed in response to issues related to former slaves following the American Civil War.
