I already wrote to my congressman to remind him that Confederate war dead are counted along with Union war dead as American soldiers by an act of congress.
I also pointed out that the Sons of the Union Civil War Veterans officially supports and actively engages in the placing of Confederate battle flags on Confederate graves.
It was the Yankees who blocked off coastal trade to the South and enacted tariffs to further squeeze the South - the real reason for the southern states to pull out of the Union.
Having solved all other problems, congress now turns to the vitally important issue of the confederate flag.
My mother-in-law was just laid to rest (next to her husband & daughter) at an historic SC church graveyard. Burials there go back to the Revolutionary War.
The are many graves from the Civil War, quite a few marked with confederate flags and/or iron markers. I fear there will be changes coming to this very honored place...either by vote or vandalism.
The locals could probably handle the vandals...there was actually gunfire far into the adjacent woods during my MIL’s service (sounded like target practice). Dealing with a vote could be more difficult (PCUSA).
How about sticking to the point of this thread -the idiocy of banning all Confederate flags from cemetaries, which is something we can all agree on - and leave the lost cause mythology to another day? Please?
Once we dig them up... where do we put them? Our nation has lapsed into insanity.
I meant to say “Why not a white flag like the flag Obummer waves all the time?”
I have several ancestors buried at Brice’s Crossroads. I am curious to see how the Federals handle the flag issue there.
For those that do not know, Brice’s Crossroads is where N. Bedford Forest out Generaled Samuel Sturgis.
But Sturgis got the biker rallies and Forrest is getting dug up and dumped somewhere.
So don’t put US flags on their graves on US Memorial day.
One man’s facts are another man’s myths. That’s how flags get banned in the land of the free.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts.
That’s how flags get banned in the land of the free.
Yeah I say there is a lot of hyperbole and myth involved for those who want the flag banned. It's the ISIS-ization of our history.
Seconded
So why did John Boehner not allow this?
