The flag of a defeated enemy of the United States paraded through the Capital isn’t anything to be proud of.
rather see that than a rainbow one, or BLM honestly.
The true enemy was the North.
So you'd throw people in jail for displaying the British flag at the capitol?
While that is true, it is also true that all Confederates were pardoned/given amnesty after the war by President Andrew Johnson.
You’re doing something wrong if you’re not the “enemy” of this federal government.
The flag is part of our history. All “enemy” participants in the war were given pardons under the Amnesty Act of 1872. FYI: they “paraded” through the Capitol building, not the Capital.
It’s the flag I grew up with on my wall since a kid. I was taught to be proud of my heritage, same as having my Great-Grandfather’s picture up on the wall with him wearing a kilt and holding his broadsword.
I honor my heritage. You should too. Whatever it is.
You do know there are statues of Confederates in the Capitol building. The following Confederate figures are among them, many in Confederate Army uniforms.Dates reflect when the statue was given to the collection:
Jefferson Davis (Mississippi, 1931)
James Z. George (Mississippi, 1931)
Wade Hampton III (South Carolina, 1929)
Uriah M. Rose (Arkansas, 1917)
Edmund Kirby Smith (Florida, 1922). On March 19, 2018, the Governor of Florida signed legislation replacing Smith with African-American educator and civil rights advocate Mary McLeod Bethune.
Alexander Hamilton Stephens (Georgia, 1927)
Zebulon Baird Vance (North Carolina, 1916)
Joseph Wheeler (Alabama, 1925)
With malice towards none... hmm, wonder who said that.
Freedom doesn’t mean much to you then.
