Read all about it A great deal of history and architecture in Mississippi and Louisiana has been lost, but they can rebuild it and preserve at least the former, if not the latter. German cities were reconstructed to mirror their pre-allied bombing conditions, architecture, and city plans.

This is also what the South must do.
