"But I think your argument against the battle flag is also an argument against the bonnie blue one, as it also flew in the same way for slavery, unless Mississippi had a different view of it than the rest of the Confederacy."

Uh, no; unlike the Confederate flag, the Bonnie Blue was not created for the Democratic Slaver Party.

the confederate battle flag was made because of each side being mixed.

This has been explained to you already so why do you persist on making claims which you have been corrected.

You know what , it’s obvious that you have a negative view, with the words you use, the post you make of your view so it is no point going on about this to you..

“Uh, no; unlike the Confederate flag, the Bonnie Blue was not created for the Democratic Slaver Party.”

From your link: “On January 9, 1861 the convention of the People of Mississippi adopted an Ordinance of Secession. With this announcement the Bonnie Blue flag was raised over the capitol building in Jackson. Harry McCarthy was so inspired that he wrote a song entitled “The Bonnie Blue Flag” which became the second most popular patriotic song of the Confederacy. The Confederate government did not adopt this flag but the people did and the lone star flags were adopted in some form in five of the southern States that adopted new flags in 1861.”

It makes little difference when you consider that it was the first choice of those same people you’re calling Democratic Slavers, the people of the Confederacy. Raising it over the state house to mark secession also marks it as more than just populist.
