Senator Calls For Return of Old Mississippi Flag: ‘Our People Died Under That Flag’


“That flag, a lot of our people fought and died under that flag,” Sen. Kathy Chism, R-New Albany, said during a political speech at the Belmont Political Rally in Tishomingo County on June 3. A reader shared a link to a video of her speech with the Mississippi Free Press.

The state did not adopt the flag—which featured three red, white and blue bars with a Confederate cross in the upper left-hand corner—until 1894, almost three decades after the end of the Civil War and several years after the end of Reconstruction. White supremacist lawmakers adopted the Confederate-themed flag in place of a prior magnolia flag as they worked to lock Black Mississippians out of politics with a slew of Jim Crow laws.
Amazing that they could fight under a flag 30 years before it was even designed.To be fair to the local GOP they seem to understand the awful optics of this move. It only seems to be a few klan followers who think it is important.
Perhaps they are lucky that they live in such a wealthy and privileged state that gives them time to worry about such nonsense..

Britain dumped slavery in the 1820s. Mississippi fought a war to keep it.

Yeah, why not bring back all the loser flags? Next up some idiot in Germany will want to resurrect the Nazi flag.

while it's true a lot of folks from Mississippi died under the Confederate flag, and they can be remembered in many ways, the flag in the former state flag was not the flag they died under...in fact it's the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia....and was cooperated by the demaklan after they lost the war to keep their slaves...and should not be flied over any state house.
The square one is the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia...The oblong one is Tennessee.
 
Why do the same assholes who say "it's just a piece of cloth" when burning the stars and stripes, lose their shit when they see a rebel flag?

BTW, that's not a "CSA battle flag" ignoramus....It's the flag of the Tennessee army.
They were traitors AND THE FUCKING LOST YOU RACIST FROG POS.
