Beg pardon.... I don't believe the bit about the American flag flying ONLY over slave owners homes from 1776. I am certain I have read refernce to the flag flying durring military movements... durring other times as well. I just don't buy it. I am certain that everyone knows that the "native American" sold his Indian brother into slavery,so is that where we start with the white liberal guilt? Is America responsible for that as well? Does the flag represent Indian slavery as well?
Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I was just implying that the number of years that Old Glory flew over a nation that accepted slavery were rather few, relatively-speaking. 1776-1865 covers 90 years. Most of the other nations that had slavery practiced it for MUCH longer than that. I'll try to be clearer next time.
(BTW, I didn't know about Native Americans practicing slavery... and I've got some Cherokee ancestry! Any good links?)
