Count me as pro-truth when it comes to the history of the Confederacy. Wonder when the pro-america anti-dixie folks who post here are going to realize where the phrase "band of brothers" comes from.

Shakespeare's Henry V "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers..." Or do you have some equally revisionist origin for it?

It's from Shakespeare. Henry V; Act IV, Scene 3. Unless you're arguing that the English flew the Confederate colors at the battle of Agincourt, I don't see what you're getting at.
