Fear of the Confederate battle flag led to the lockdown of a Georgia high school last week.
A sophomore student in Polk County, Georgia, walked through his high school’s cafeteria Sept. 23 with the Confederate flag on his backpack. The school went on lockdown status just hours after the white teenager had an altercation with two black students.
“They wanted to confront him about what he had on his backpack. What did they say? ‘Hey man, why you doing that?’” Principal Wesley Cupp of Rockmart High School told the Fox-5 Atlanta Sept. 25.

I wonder how many people realize the Indian Tribes (Except the Pawnee and Crow tribes) went to war against the US because they were told they would get a better deal from the Confederate states.
Half breed George Bent was believed to be a Confederate agent stirring up the tribes. He joined the Confederacy and fought several battles in Missouri and Arkansas. Later he was with Black Kettle’s band of Southern Cheyenne who later met their demise at Sand Creek. George survived.

The Indians would come in and make peace in winter, live on US beef and commodities, then in spring go back on the warpath when the grass was tall enough to support a war pony.
Cherokees, Muskogee, Seminole, and Choctaws also joined the Confederacy. Cherokee General Stand Watie was the last Confederate general to surrender.

In the movie “The Great Sioux Uprising” (1953) Stand Watie, in Confederate uniform, is shown slapping around a black slave.
