***Why fly the flag of the losers?***
Because often the loser in a war can put up such a good fight that even when beaten down, he can walk away with his honor intact. All wars have battles in which honor is given to a defeated foe.
For a war that was supposed to last ninety days the Confederacy held it’s own for four long years.
Four long painful years.
And it might happen again if Loretta Lynch decides to arrest the legislature in North Carolina.
