From the April 2, 2016, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** Court upholds order to relocate UT Confederate statue. (Univ. of Texas) (Loss) Statue of Jefferson Davis.
** Keeping Andrew Jackson statue doesn't square with removing Confederate monuments. (Bayou Buss, Louisiana) A good point made. Jackson Square and the statue of Andrew Jackson in New Orleans is one of the most popular tourist spots and photo ops on the Gulf Coast. However, New Orleans' nuisance ordinance says any monument should be removed if it "suggests the supremacy of one ethnic, religious or racial group over another."
Andrew Jackson was a slave owner and definitely didn't treat Indians very well.
The article pointed out that Jackson did save New Orleans from the British and did serve two terms as president, but today's history revisionists only care about how he treated oppressed minorities of his day.
