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.

It is you who refuse to accept the fact the stars and stripes has been flying over slave ships and atrocities out west to the native Americans.
Those ships were registered and sailed form those ports.

You can gloss over the fact if you like , but you saying donate a teepee to them shows me how selective your outrage is and you have bight the left wing media crap.
