The following information about the memorial was posted by Stephen-KarenConn on the Virtual Tourist website:
"This Confederate Monument, on the Parish County Courthouse lawn, stands as a memorial to the brave men who fought to defend their homeland against northern invaders during what they called the War for Southern Independence."
"Tallulah saw action during the Vicksburg Campaign. Two of my many kinfolk who were Confederate soldiers (uncles from Alabama) fought in that campaign. One was killed and the other was captured. My uncles, like the overwhelming majority of Confederate soldiers, were poor dirt farmers who owned neither slave nor plantation. they fought to preserve the Constitution and to defend themselves against an out-of-control federal government."
