Interesting bit o' trivia...
The "Confederate flag" was never flown in any battles,.. and wasn't the official flag of the Confederacy...
Here's yer' Civil War flag... among other variations...

"The second national flag was later adapted as a naval ensign, using a shorter 2:3 ratio than the 1:2 ratio adopted by the Confederate Congress for the national flag. This particular battle ensign was the only example taken around the world, finally becoming the last Confederate flag lowered in the Civil War; this happening aboard CSS Shenandoah in Liverpool, England on November 7, 1865."

So, all this hoopla is over a naval ensign flag, adopted at the end of the war...
None of your ancestors died for that flag... Undecided

...a now-popular variant of the Confederate flag was rejected as the national flag in 1861. It was instead adopted as a battle flag by the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee. Despite never having historically represented the CSA as a country nor officially recognized as one of the national flags, it is commonly referred to as "the Confederate Flag"...

So let's ban a flag that the people who want it banned don't even understand. Roll Eyes

Thanks Serowbot. That article was interesting.

May be, may be not?.... Interesting, I learned a bit I didn't know.

MYTH: The Confederate Battle Flag represented the Southern Nation.

FACT: Not true. While the Southern Battle flag was carried into battle, the Southern Nation had 3 different National flags during the course of the war.

The First National flag was changed due to a resemblance of the US flag.

The Second National flag was subsequently modified due to the similarity to a flag of truce.

The Third National flag was the adopted flag of the Confederacy.

The Confederate Battle Flag was never a National Flag of the Confederacy. It was carried into battle by several armies such as the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tennessee. Was also used as a Naval Jack by the Confederate Navy.

Of the 4 big, broadcast TV stations.
2 haven’t touched it, One is going NUTS over it, and 1 is so-so.

The One going NUTS over it, ‘Found’, (or persuaded), a local store owner,
(which it’s name was: “Calhoun xxx”.)
To say: ‘I did’t know the name, ‘Calhoun’, represented such bigotry,
I am going to change the name’.

And this was BIG News, on Sunday Morning,
on a ’segment’ which a, ‘reporter’, has her own, segment,
and airs her, ‘opinion’, and calls it, 'news'.
And had ONE, local elected person,
(who was elected under VERY Controversial circumstances)
And absolutely, NO, apposing views.

I am waiting for the announcement,
that those two, will have their ropes & chisels ready,
to chisel, THREE faces off Mt. Rushmore !

I have nothing good to say about the Memphis City Council! These morons couldn't find their butt with both hands and a compass.

Memphis is a VERY racially divided city. King was killed here and I guess we'll never hear the end of that one.

From what I know of Forrest, he was a great Civil War general. But since he started the KKK, he must be a bad person and we must eradicate everything about this man from the city. The city council decided a few years ago to change the names of a lot of the city parks because the names were alluding to racism/racist people.

So now we're digging up bodies to prevent racism? This is going to change exactly what?

Huh

Those evil books in school and city library, we gonna need a bonfire to purge society of the evils of racism. Racism and slavery didn't exist until someone wrote about it. Facts no longer matter. Feelings rule.
I heard some idiot is suing a Bible publisher because it bothers him that the book is less than supportive of sodomites. I guess if you call it progressive it is good. I Think I see where we are progressing To, kinda like someone in kayak about fifty feet from Niagara falls. It's not just here.. screwed up is policy in lots of places.

“Those evil books …”

A-Yep.
Reminds me of the statement:
“I can’t describe porn, but I know it when I see it.”

Gee, can you change that to:
‘I can’t describe, ‘evil books’, but I know one when I see it’.

And is that the, ‘people’ YOU are PAYING ?
People that do NOT, Pay you ???
People that, YOU, Hire ?

Write those letters, and TELL them, YOU, are Paying THEM,
THEY, do not pay YOU.
Tell them YOU, hire them,
And, YOU, can FIRE, them !!!!!
