Several northern States still had slaves when the war started.Don't know history? The war wasn't about slavery.It was the democrat kkk that gave the flag a bad name, and recently it was the democrat party that gave it more power. Congradulations.They glorify the confederate rag in a multitude of ways, not just at one memorial dummy.They were defending the Confederate flag, flying at the confederate memorial. The memorial is still there. Why are you afraid of a piece of cloth?
Afraid? No, the confederate rag is just a piece of cloth, you're right. It's when republicans fly it in the name of hostility towards fellow Americans that I get disgusted. And really, that's the only way to fly the confederate rag.
Damn! And all this time, I thought it was slavery and the Confederacy that gave the Confederate flag a bad name!
Good, you are just digging yourself in deeper with every post. My home is Atlanta, son, and my great grandfather fought for Tennessee from Shilo to Franklinton, receiving a mini ball in the leg, and having been captured twice. Yes, Good, I know history, and the civil war was about slavery, and how it made the pre war Southern economy possible.
