Wrong at he early stages of slavery it was , but as time went by and years went on, then after we got our independence we were bringing them here.
Those ships sailed from MA, DE, RI, NJ, NY.

The flag was made out of the Andrews cross a symbol used by the Christian faith and then used to distinguish between two armies. It was never the official Govt flag. It was not ever used to fly over slavery.
As for the KKK using it then they also used the stars an stripes. The very fact that they are using this shooting to promote their left wing agenda is sick and twisted.]]

Also would you like to address the flags being flown out west while we killed, raped, took land, robbed and displaced the natives. Why no outrage by the media and the left which are the same over that?

Please learn history. Many ships left U.S. ports to ply in slave trading, but none were U.S. flagged vessels. Saying it again, and again doesn’t make it so. The U.S. had the Navy doing interdiction patrols in the early 1800, but as the size of the Navy was small, they caught less than 100 ships. They were the only U.S. flagged ships involved in slave trading, as trading slaves was illegal.

Also, learn of the Saltire, its history, then you can get back to me on the Confederate Battle Flag.

As fer the injuns, find you a deserving tribe, and donate yer teepee to ‘em.
