How about the Stars and Stripes, Walt? That flew over northern states that condoned slavery roo.
What the slave owners took issue with was that the nothern states were becoming less and less willing to support slavery.
The South Carolina Declaration of Causes even says that northerners labored under a false religious belief that slavey was wrong.
Slavery existed under the U.S. flag; it was U.S. citizens who were becoming increasingly uncomfortable with it ---except in the slave states.

Why do you suppose that was?
The South Carolina Declaration of Causes even says that northerners labored under a false religious belief that slavey was wrong.
Slavery existed under the U.S. flag; it was U.S. citizens who were becoming increasingly uncomfortable with it ---except in the slave states.
But you haven't answered a direct question. Since you admit that the U.S. Flag flew over northern states that condoned slavery, why do you not wish to have the Stars & Stripes changed or replaced?
I'll add another question. Why do you fear the Stars & Bars so?
And another: Is the South advocating a return to slavery?
One more for good measure: During the days of slavery, the slave owners provided free housing, free food, free medical care (such as it was for anyone, free or slave in those days). How does that differ from todays medicare, food stamps, or 'free housing'?
