Southern Marsh Mens Jackson Square Tee Jackson Square, located in New Orleans, Louisiana is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful city squares in the United States. The design was modeled on the famous Place des Vosges in Paris, France and was designed by architect and landscaper Louis H. PiliA . Originally known in the 18th Century as Place d'Armes, it served as the city center and was a place where all manner of commerce occurred. Merchant ships would stop off at the base of the Mississippi River and bring their cargo into the square to trade with local residents. Shopkeepers relied on the vessels to supply the town with everything from whiskey and tobacco, to exotic foods and spices. In 1814, Place d'Armes was renamed to Jackson Sqaure in honor of General Andrew Jackson after the Battle of New Orleans. Jackson heroically saved the city from a British naval invasion which ultimately resulted in a peace treaty between England and the United States. 100% Lightweight Cotton Pocket Tee Full Color Garment Washed Size S XXL
