what year were you born rightwinger?
I remember these protests
The flag was used as a means to put Civil Rights marchers in their place
why is that photo in black and white?
oh, because it so so old that color film was not in common use.
sometime in the 50s, most likely. perhaps early 60s.
Why do you think they chose the confederate flag as a symbol of their counter-protest against civil rights?
What was this guy trying to say?
did they?
looks like one guy, on the spur of the moment.
he doesn't even have a flag pole.
These bullshit side shows are really getting old, this has nothing to do with current politics.
These photos have EVERYTHING to do with the current protest against the flag
THIS is why that flag is hated so much by blacks
Democrat motto: Never let a good crisis or dead bodies go to waste
USE them to further your HATEFUL political agenda
actually, not so much.
slavery was not a result of the civil war, and very few blacks fought it the war.
a descendant of union soldiers might have something to complain about.
of course those soldiers, the ones that lived, were part of the american society that put the civil war behind them and healed the nation's wounds.
and their children's children's children do not have the moral authority to undo those choices.
Lets see a link. I know of a possible few anecdotal example of individual soldiers showing the flag on branches and such temporarily. I could find no unit that flew it into a battle and hence, fought under it. But maybe you have a source.your thread title is a lie.
you claim to be discussing the history of the flag, but you discuss it's beginning and then jump forward almost one hundred years.
how could you jump over it's use by southern units in WWII?
that was a huge part of it's development from a historical battle flag to a symbol of the south.

What is HATEFUL about wanting an offensive flag to be taken down in a time of grief?
The Confederate Constitution was nearly identical to ours with the exception that it guarantees the institution of slaveryThis is sad. A flag is an inanimate object and cannot control who uses it and why they use it. The flag of choice at most KKK rallies is the Stars and Stripes, as anyone can confirm by Googling images of KKK meetings. See, for example:
Klansmen holding American flags at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Montgomery Alabama. Jim Peppler Southern Courier Photograph Collection
The Real Flag Of The Ku Klux Klan - KKK
The Confederate constitution, FYI, allowed for the admission of free states--yes, free states--to the Confederacy and banned the overseas slave trade. At least two-thirds of Southern families held no slaves. There were as many free blacks in the South as there were in the North, if not more. Thousands of blacks served in the Confederate army as combat soldiers. The Confederate government showed far more respect for freedom of the press and citizens' civil liberties than did the U.S. government.

at a guess, probably trying to claim that the entire south was with him in opposing them.
why do you think some us military units sometimes flew the flag in WWII?
Confederate Flag history is the Democrat Party History.
Thanks, Rightwinger
