“It is a flag of treason flown by people who killed loyal Americans, who fought to destroy the U.S.;”
You really are not aware that the Confederacy declared itself to be a sovereign nation, and had no intention of invading the Union to “destroy the U.S.?
Lol
He apparently knows nothing about history, and like the Taliban doesn’t want to. Must be a very sad little person. People who are willing to destroy history are capable of creating a new holocaust.
Iraq or North Vietnam didn't want to conquer the US, but if American citizens threw in with them, we'd still consider them guilty of treason. Whatever Germany's or Japan's or Russia's ultimate intentions with respect to the US, we would have hanged Americans who worked for them. Aaron Burr didn't want to destroy the US. He just wanted to carve his own country out of US (and possibly Spanish) territory. But still we tried him for treason.
I'm not saying the Confederate case is the same as these other cases. For one thing, the Nazis and Communists were far worse. For another "sedition" is the word that might more accurately be used, rather than "treason." But if treason means making war against the United States, you can't just dismiss or "Lol" away applying the word to the Confederate leadership.
