In the discussions about tha Battle Flag, I’ve always found it interesting that few, if any, comment that, except for the civil war years, those Confederate states were under “Old Glory!” So, where’s the call to ban the “Red, White and Blue?”

Good point, particularly as Slavery was far more engrained as an institution under the Federal flag of the united States then under the 4 short years of the confederacy in which it was all but given up. Nor did slavery end with the confederacy but rather instead slavery did not end in the northern State of Kentucky until the 13th amendment AFTER the war.
