I don’t ever recall saying slaves were not bound under the Stars And Stripes. But it was the Stars And Stripes under which their bondage ended.

Nope. It was the Stars and Bars under which their bondage ended. The Union only freed the slaves in the South. It didn't free the slaves in the Union states.

Slavery continued under this flag, as it had done for "four score and seven years."

Kinda blows that whole "We were fighting to free the slaves" narrative, now doesn't it?

You people should be embarrassed to try that con on people, knowing full well that slavery continued longer in the Union than it did in the Confederacy.

Slavery began under various flags, but not the Confederate flag.
