I liked the part where the veterans of Gettysburg met years after the battle. They had forgotten the Black Veterans who served with the south. It was all OK, they were welcomed by their southern comrades and given tents. The Black Confederates are almost forgotten.
I fly my Stars and Bars the entire month of April.I am 67 years old, and don't care how politically correct I am. I am a descendant of Civil War soldiers, and very proud. I am not a racist person, just believe that History should be respected.I fly my Flags on Confederate Holidays, and have never been approached about it.I keep small Confederate flags, and the locals know where come to decorate Confederate graves with them, but those same people will not fly the Flag!
