“This Republican thinks of The Confederate flag as a flag of treason and separation.”
That’s the old Radical Republican position, men like Stanton and Stevens who considered Abe Lincoln too moderate and were even suspected of playing a role in his murder. The Radicals were a bloodthirsty bunch with a lot in common with some later Russian and German politicians who similarly liked the idea of killing their opponents.
So what’s your opinion of the Massachusetts Essex Junto and the New Haven Convention and the Hartford Convention?
The two New England movements to secede from the United States 50 years earlier?
And given that the Crown issued two emancipation declarations during the Revolution, Dunmore’s Proclamation and The Philipsburg Proclamation, should King George have prevailed over the Colonists?
I don’t if it’s the American Nazi Party or The GOP that wants to secede. Although if the Nazis wanted out, good riddance. I believe in The United States of America. Not some Balkanized mish mash of a nation. King George was a certifiable loon.
