what flag flew while a war went on out west against Apaches, Crow, you know that war which killed, raped, robbed and moved them off their land, which flag flew on slave ships and which flag flew on Govt buildings during the war between the states?Some can argue the stars and stripes enslaved others and is a sign of oppression, my point is that anyone can get all PC and get all stupid about any issue if they like , it is up to others to just ignore them and call them out as what they are, stupid
The US Constitution & the US flag didn’t do that or promote abuses, men did.
Based on your post then the confederate flag is the same as you said, infact the confederate battle flag was there to let armies and regiments know who they were .
