A statue of Alfred Mouton, a Confederate general in the American Civil War, was installed in 1922 in Lafayette, Louisiana, United States. The sculptor's identity is unknown.
On July 16, 2021, the United Daughters of the Confederacy signed a settlement agreeing that the city would bear the cost for removing the statue, which stood outside the former city hall, to another location. It was removed the next day. The statue was moved to Camp Moore, a former Confederate military camp and now historic site in Kentwood, Louisiana.[1]
