This yankee has never had any issues with it.
This one has. Stick the thing in a museum if you want. It’s not a ‘’racist’’ thing with me. More people were enslaved under the Stars and Stripes than the Stars and Bars. To be it represents the emblem of secessionist treason. And Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans, Yankess and Rebs.
Same for this Yankee!
And this Yankee has never had a problem with it either! Let the South have their symbols. The blacks have their “liberation” flag!
I’ll not make it an issue, but as one whose ancestor ascended Marye’s Heights with the Irish Brigade I see it as a symbol of a treason that cost 600,000 lives, the equivelant today is 6 million. If those in the South have ancestor’s whose martial valor is a source of pride,so be it. But secession brought death, famine, and long lived misery to the people of the Confederacy. Sherman’s regiments may have held the torches but the fire eaters lit the flame and their homes reaped the whirlwind.
Ditto.
