From Timeline #206, AKA Dixie-6, I have found this picture of the first man on the Moon from the CSA:

Confederate flags flown aboard the international space station — and seemingly signed by a NASA astronaut — showed up last week on the online auction site eBay.
The original eBay listing indicated that the 4-by-6-inch flags were brought aboard the space station by Russian cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov in 2004, and an accompanying photo showed a sample flag that seemed to bear Sharipov’s signature as well as that of Leroy Chiao, his NASA colleague on the station. Yet another photo showed several of the rebel flags floating in a space station module.
The item was pulled from the auction on Monday by the seller, Alex Panchenko of USSR-Russian Air-Space Collectibles Inc. in Los Angeles — and on Tuesday, Panchenko told MSNBC.com that he removed the items from sale because he had concluded the flag and the authentication documents were forgeries.
However, Robert Pearlman, editor and founder of CollectSpace, said he believes the flags are authentic.
“The picture taken of the flags aboard the station says a lot,” he said. “It would be difficult to fake, given the style and I couldn't see the motivation to do so.” The “onboard-the-ISS” stamp, added Pearlman, is not known to have been counterfeited anywhere."
The disappearance of the flags followed a round of criticism over the weekend from former space scientist Keith Cowing, publisher of NASA Watch, an independent Web log. He cited the Confederate flags as an example of “bad judgment on the ISS.”
“You'd think that someone on the U.S. side of the ISS program would have expressed some concern about flying a symbol on the ISS that many Americans associate with slavery,” Cowing wrote.

several of the "unionist coven" here are smart enough to know that they are INCAPABLE of disputing the FACTS, so instead they try to "kill the messenger".
it's an old trick, which sadly for THEM is seldom effective, in the long run.
otoh, there are a couple of them who are evidently too DUMB or NAIVE to even know that they've been lied TO & made FOOLS of.

>>ALL history books have "agendas".
> Even the ones that don't exist, like "Yachts Against Subs" and "The Annals of Old Missouri"?
Don't forget "Great French Military Victories of the 20th Century," "Great Moments in Clinton Administration Dignified Statesmanship," and "How the South Fought the Civil War Without It Having Been About Slavery."

Hmmm. Perhaps there is a message in the madness.

I know it happens...The, kill the messenger, business. It just makes no sense whatsoever because that makes the poster look like a selfish little child who stomps their feet and says, I want my way and I'll get it one way or another. And the saddest part, I'm not the only one who sees the post. Anyone else on FR who chooses, can see the childish post...
I've said many times what you have to do to make me stop. Show that those books exist, or admit you made it up, and show where I've made a racist statement or apologize for accusing me of such. Do those two things and I'll never address a post to you again. Should be easy, right? Prove that you're telling the truth and I'm lying.
But you can't, can you?
MOST of what is presented in schools, at least in "history" courses, is to quote Arnold Toynbee, "fiction, popularly agreed upon by tyrants & conquerers".

evidently, only N-S, of all the unionists on FR, knows better. he just doesn't DO better.

I know. That's why it doesn't upset me much. The only part that upsets me is that the clown, Lincoln, has had his pathetic propanda spread like jam on bread. We're seeing the results of his great achievement in the form of, pathetic Senators, Congressmen, borders, un-patriotic hate groups, and whatever other uncontrollable societal ills exist...
Why? Because I point out the inconsistencies in your unsupported, undocumented, biased claims? You, like all your southron compatriots, want to make any charge you care to without fear of it being questioned. And it annoys you no end when you have your smears challenged.
The court martial business was reasearched, BY MYSELF, and DUH! I know he was in WASHINGTON. DUH! DUH! DUH! BUT DUH! That does not mean, DUH! that one cannot contact him by TELEGRAPH! DUH!
I can't say I've been overly impressed with your research to date, so perhaps you can provide more details of just how Garfield managed to run a drum head court martial and lynching in Murfeesboro from Washington, D.C. Telegraph or no telegraph.
Yes. It did appear that way to me also. That is why he deserved to be spoken to. But when he started on the needless rampage of attempting to make me look like I'd lost my marbles, then it became time to bid him adieu...
we can all "thank" lincoln, the TYRANT, for that too.

Another lie. Toynbee never said that. The quote seems to originate with Voltaire, who said, "History is the lie commonly agreed upon," Napoleon paraphrased it and usually gets the credit. Toynbee did say "Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder," which makes a nice epitaph for the southern slave economy.
When and on what subject have you EVER posted anything but bull...manure?????
I know that. I'm just trying to determine if Mrs. Schwerin knows it. Or if she considers the Kennedy brothers stuff unbiased and without agenda.
that is what N-S demonstrably IS, as all but the MOST ignorant/naive of readers knows.

the rest seem clueLESS & pitiful.
fwiw, i'd apologize to "the lady", if i were you.

Now who's 'degrading for the sake of degrading'?
