“The Confederate flag is a treason. Brave men, including ancestors of mine fought to put that flag in the ground.”

Some of us have ancestors who fought on both sides of that conflict. I do.

My GGG grandfather, George Bibb Crittenden, fought for the CSA, while his brother, Leonidas Crittenden, fought for the USA.

And those are only two. I have more.

Are you asking me to renounce my forebear?

Your forebears fought to preserve slavery. God Almighty I’m so bloody sick of you Confederates. You started a war and lost. Get over it. Are you an American or a Confederate?

As Teddy Roosevelt put it ‘’We have room for only one flag in America, not two’’. Your ancestor fought to establish a separate nation with an economy based on the use of slave labor. Which flag fly’s atop that memorial to the Marines of Iwo Jima in Washington D.C.? The Stars And Stripes or the Stars and Bars? I’m asking you to examine your conscience and look at what your CSA forebear was fighting for.
