I honor the Stars and Stripes, but I also honor the Confederate flag who fought tyranny and aggression against the civilians in the South. Today, we are trying to keep our country from falling in to the quagmire of open tyranny from our politicians. When we have people of our nation so deeply divided as ours, then we have no time to argue the past, we learn from it the reasons why it happened. The Northern soldiers died valiantly to their cause, and so the the Southern Soldiers, died valiantly. They both were my kinfolk, great-great grandfather, and their sons, both North and South......I have both to honor, and to fight for.
The Confederate soldiers were generally very brave and honorable men, but a strong case can be made that the true tyrant oppressing Southerners was Jefferson Davis and not Abraham Lincoln.
We have one flag. And room for only one flag. The Stars and Stripes. Americans from every point on the compass died for it and are dying for it today. My people fought for America in 1864. For America, not ‘’the North(which they were) or ‘’The South’’ or the “West’’ or the “East’’. They fought for America.
