[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1701774, member: 45230"] And you try to confuse the issue with other flags. The flag under current discussion is a Confederate battle flag (one of many) and was never "the" official Confederate flag. Nobody claimed it was. The first official flags looked too much like US flags and caused confusion. The mostly white such as the "stainless banner" bore too much resemblance to a white surrender flag and also caused confusion on battlefields. You also attempt (in vain) to link the flag under discussion as specifically racist. More revisionist history by you. To many in the South it represents history and the sacrifice of many ancestors in a lost cause. Most soldiers were not slave owners but loyally served their States. At that time individual States were more important to most individuals than the Federal government. Most officers in the Civil War returned to their home states to serve even if their personal feelings would have them do otherwise. That was true for both the North and the South. [/QUOTE]
