And after the end of the war, the flag that still flew over those slave states that DID NOT join the South, and slavery was still legal, was the Stars ans Stripes. Most of those UNION SLAVE STATES did not release their slaves until the 13th Amendment was passed eight months after the end of the war.
Oh please. That’s a bulsh!t arguement. New Jersey had exactly four blacks who were in ‘’indentured servitude’’. While not a a morally acceptable situation it can hardly be called slavery as it pertained to what it was in the South. My home state never had cotton plantations. You’re talking about The Stars And Stripes as being the flag of slavery sounds exactly what those idiot lefties say about the Confederate flag. The same then could be said for the Gadston Flag or The Bonnie Blue.
