‘That flag represents a heritage of treason, bigotry, hostility, division and an overall ugly time in American history.

One could say the same thing about the American flag...

Of course they would be wrong. That you Michelle?

They would be very wrong. My point is this. Just because both of those flags flew during during periods of violence and unrest in our country, doesn’t mean that’s what they stand for or that’s what they signify. They stand for something completely different and SO much more.

Read some of my other posts. I’m clearly NOT Michelle.

In early 1861, the full government of the United States endorsed the legitimacy of slave ownership. In January of 1861, the Mayor of New York suggested secession from the Federal government. In April of 1861, the Federal government sent secret naval squadrons to Charleston and Florida to fight their way into the ports.

The Federal flag flew over all these institutions of treason, bigotry, hostility and division.
