The agreement to end The War Between The States specified that Confederate veterans would be treated as equals to Federal veterans. Included were pensions, burial benefits and associated honors -- which would include flying their flag at cemeteries where Confederate veterans are buried.

It was an honorable step toward binding the nation's wounds in the wake of a bloody war fought between brothers.

In all liklihood, Congress' craven action will fail to pass muster if tested in court.

The only thing that has ended with The Civil War is the shooting. Over one hundred and sixty years later and we’re still debating this sh!t. With a Marxist bastard in The White House and two more Marxist bastards trying to get in we’re still fighting the f**king Civil War! For God’s Sake!
