‘denial that “That flag represents a heritage of treason, bigotry, hostility.”’
You said: Wrong tense on the verb.
Tell it to the newspaper.
You said: “I don’t hold to your point of view that ‘”That flag (Union flag also) represents a heritage of treason, bigotry, hostility.”’ Any failings of this country on the ‘bigotry/hostility’ front have been more than compensated for by subsequent actions.
I suppose by that you mean the reconstruction of the South? You must remember that millions in the South, of all races, were the recipients of bigotry and hostility from the other regions. And it is still happening today.
“The South chose a course as did the North. Your examples in your interesting test show hypocrisy on the part of the North if slavery was the issue.”
Actually slavery was only one issue.
But whose issue was it?
You scored a perfect 100 on the test. Here is a bonus question for the big cigar:
In March of 1861, which of the following branches of the Federal government acknowledged the legality of slavery and supported the institution:
b. The legislative
c. The executive
d. The judicial
e. All of the above
Good Job Pea
The answer: e
Still didn’t make slavery ‘right’ only legal.
‘denial that “That flag represents a heritage of treason, bigotry, hostility.”’

The newspaper likely wouldn’t listen, Mrs Obama holds the same view, I disagree with her as well.
‘compensated for by subsequent actions.’
‘I suppose by that you mean the reconstruction of the South?’
I don’t, I would lump the majority of reconstruction under the less than stellar moral performances I referenced before.
‘You must remember that millions in the South, of all races, were the recipients of bigotry and hostility from the other regions. And it is still happening today.’
I wouldn’t deny that. Bigotry gets thrown around here on alot of issues as if is the worst offense one could have. Unless you have a reason to respect someone save for their bigotry, why would anyone care about the bigotry of a stranger? Why give counsel to the words of a fool?
