Wrong Guess !!
The Confederate Battle Flag did not represent the political agenda of the Confederacy, nor did it represent the Confederacy itself.
It was a Battle Flag (Cross of Saint Andrew) designed by the army and used by the military to positively identify a combative force.
The battle flag is a representation of the confederacy used on the battle field. The confederacy, inter alia, most definitely advocated the continuation of slavery.
The flag positively identified a combat (not combative) force that was fighting for the victory of the confederate states.
Your comment would also mean that the Stars and Stripes did not represent the United States, the swastika the Third Reich nor the hammer and sickle the Soviet Union.
It's revisionist history; give it up.
It was a Battle Flag (Cross of Saint Andrew) designed by the army and used by the military to positively identify a combative force.
Certainly one of the more creative arguments I've seen on how to divorce the flag from the political quagmire it often is at the center of.
A combative force, eh? And your suggestion is that the presence of a combative force (combative over what?) in no way represents the political agenda of the state that fields said combative force? That you have identified the purpose of the flag on the field of battle itself does not, in any way, mean that the only purpose of that flag is for identification purposes.
Rally 'round the flag boys means a whole lot more than getting together with your own, it is symbolic of rallying around the cause you are going to battle for. JMO.
said this a few times but it seems those who do not know their history think the battle flag was the Govt southern confederacy flag
It;s like uneducated northerners come down here and say Oh my look a rebel flag, are we safe around here.
They’re idiots and the liberals, the NAACP, the uneducated need to go north and learn history
ever heard the one of well the KKK flies it but if you tell them that the KKK flies the stars and stripes they have an hard time understanding things then.
