One of the most repeated of neo-confederate myths and dodges, but to accept it shows you have no knowledge of what the EP was and do not understand the United States Constitution.
As to the Confederate flag, I don't really give a damn one way or another. It does not "offend" me but says something sad about those who revere it for things it never was and never even stood for when it was operable.
I see it as a sad, short lived symbol of a morally flawed cause that a high percentage of the good and honorable men who died under it neither fully understood nor would agree with if they did. Such is the nature of any civil war.
From a purely historical perspective, it's a symbol of folly, tragedy, and needless suffering in the service of an ignoble objective. From a contemporary basis, it is a symbol full of myth and bluster shamelessly abused by the worst denizens of our culture.
But do as you wish. It is still a free country. But I doubt the Stars and Stripes would have been accorded the same respect if the outcome has been different 140 years ago.
Funny, you wrote five paragraphs with little substance other than talking points. You seem to be an expert on the Emancipation Proclaimation... tell me, how many slaves did it free in the Union states?
had my ancestors won their war for dixie FREEDOM, the Stars & Stripes would STILL be the flag of the USA. there would just be 13 LESS stars in the canton.
sorry, ditto, NOBODY with a BRAIN/education is buying your anti-southern bilge today.
