Well I would be surprised to see two "Confederate Flags" flying on trucks any where. Haven't actually seen one in years. Now if the author and you are talking about "Confederate BATTLE Flag", I am looking at one in my office as I type. It is next to the Federal Flag of the United States of America, the Union Jack, the Don't Tread on Me Flag, the Nevada Battle Born flag and POW-MIA flag. I honor the CBF for the brave men who fought under it for a principle they believed in - which by the way was NOT slavery - it was states rights.

This has been chewed on endlessly on FR but I am always obliged to post once on such foolish threads in the hope someone will actually do some research and change their mind.

The South will rise again, in principle, it is my hope that it is not too late.

I'll I agree with that to a point, if it is recognized that the cowardly men behind the rebellion, who exempted their own class from military service, set up the Confederacy for the benefit of the institution of slavery. If the despised southern mud sills could be convinced that it was really states' rights that they were fighting for, then so much the better.

But an 1860s man in Winton County Alabama had the Confederacy (Slavery Inc.) figured out well:

"All tha want is to git you...to fight for their infernal Negroes and after you do their fightin' you may kiss their hind parts for o tha care." [
