The site I linked to had flags 8X12ft Nylon Embroidered. Excellent for the next overpass outing.
This one is 30x50 in Brandon, FLA.

I've noticed that flag several times in British TV shows. Usually, it's hanging somewhere like the wall of a fish & chips shack. I wondered if there were some meaning to the home audience that I was missing.
“What about the reported sightings of ghosts of Confederate Soldiers that roam around in those fields. What will happen to them?”
The liberals will kill them again.
Many Brits admire the chivalrous cavalier aspect of the civil war - the romance. A very good friend of mine adores the old south and writes about it frequently. They are also frequent visitors to the battlegrounds.
It’s very beautiful. Not, perhaps as beautiful as Antietam which is not that far away from Gettysburg, but it’s beautifully maintained and the town itself is picturesque.
it’s not just England. If you watch any soccer then sometimes you see a battle flag in the crowd. It stands for rebelling against and not racism.
I know of another English guy in South FL who flies it too.
we were there during Christmas and as we drove in we approached the round about and it looked like a town out of a Charles Dickens novel.
Bigots and racists will always be with us. Bigots and racists come in White and Black colors. As well as Yellow, Brown and Red. They will be among us until the end of time. Get over it.
I haven’t been there in a long time. Is the space ship looking tower still on Cemetery Ridge. I thought that thing was so out of place.
Been about 6 years since I was there so I don’t know
The battle field that most resembles the way it looked in the 1860's is Antietam Battlefield.
I’d love to go to Antietam and Harpers ferry , plus going to the Stonewall house,, monument etc as he is a man who I greatly admire. A man who came from no where, went to west point, went up in his class every year and with all the deaths and tragedy he had to endure is amazing. One of his quotes has given me inspiration” You may be what ever you resolve to be”
I live a few miles from the North Anna Battlefield the most obscure engagement of the Civil War in the east.
The very first battle field was Fredericksburg and was disappointed how the Fed graveyard was looking manicured, and yet the Confederate one was looking shabby. Not sure if the workers had not got to it or it was always like that.
Fredricksburg is not worth the effort.
yea I found that out.
Every year we go to oulstee which is near me to watch the re-enactments and now wondering if these turds want to ban the flags for this event.
Southern chivalry is revered the world over. Southerners love and honor their ancestors that fought against an oppressive government, when they wanted only to be left alone to go their separate ways. You see so many more Confederate memorials in the South because Southerners love their ancestors. You see hardly any memorials in the North because Northerners didn’t want to fight to start with and hold no reverence whatsoever to the war Lincoln made them fight. The biggest race riots in the country happened in NY City in 1863 after the Emancipation Proclamation when NY residents were told they were being drafted to fight to free slaves. They hung blacks all over the town and burned parts of the city. The Union army had to bombard the city to get them to quit rioting.
New York was Copperhead City.
Well, you convinced me. This Yankee is going to buy one too. F**K the liberals.
