If that man in the picture lived in Mississippi as a slave in the 1860’s I doubt he’d be speaking of the Confederate slave owner who whipped him so well.

You actually have the hubris to believe you are more knowledgeable than the guy involved in the display?

We have a few black "regulars" who used to come out to rally round the flag when it flew with the other flags which have flown over Mississippi during its history as territory and as a state.

My ancestors were slaves in the South. So I know some facts about how life was like under the Confederacy.

Why do so many who glorify the Confederate flag downplay the ugliness of slavery Southern states wanted to keep?
