WHEREAS, on January 26, 1861, the State of Louisiana declared itself to be a free and independent state and subsequently joined the Confederate States of America of which it was a member state from 1861 until 1865; and,
WHEREAS, the State of Louisiana contributed many soldiers and sailors to the service of the Confederate States; and,
WHEREAS, the Louisianians who served on both sides of the War Between the States are memorialized in almost every parish in the State; and,
WHEREAS, all citizens of the State of Louisiana should study the War Between the States, as we study all wars, so that we may understand the historical events which compelled the war and, from that understanding, continue to learn to live together and seek to avoid further conflicts.
