To me: Allen is saying to Louisianian's after the Civil War:
Forget what you once possessed - now lost,
Forget the conflict and that you had enemies,
Forget the price you paid - more than was mete,
Swear allegiance to the Union - we are one again,
And built on the future and find solace where you can find it.

The cabins pictures above did indeed come from Allendale Plantation and were moved to the grounds of the West Baton Rouge Museum. Some date to the late 1800s as they were rebuilt after the war. The statue of Allen across from the WBR Courthouse is the original statue commissioned in the 1960s and created by Angela Gregory.
