Confederate sympathizers marched to oppose the removal of a monument to Confederate President Jefferson Davis in New Orleans on Wednesday night, May 10. New Orleans has been removing Confederate statues at night to avoid large disruptions.

Anti-Confederacy protesters gathered along the street for the removal as well, with the two groups occasionally shouting at one another. Traffic in the area was still affected early Thursday as the statue’s large base proved more difficult to remove than anticipated.

The Davis monument, erected in 1911, was the second of four the city of New Orleans has marked for removal. Last month, a monument to the Battle of Liberty Place, in which white supremacists killed police officers, was removed. Statues of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and P.G.T. Beauregard will also be removed. The removal was approved in December 2016 by the New Orleans City Council.
