[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stars and bars has been carried by our men in uniform into every major conflict since the civil war, particularly by service members from the south.

I challenge you to read this. These are the actual documents of a number of Southern states setting forth their reasons for secession. Go to the source. Not some fiction you learned in your history classes in high school. Read the actual documents. Then come back and tell me you are proud of what that flag stands for. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states[/quote]

Gotta love this quote from Mississippi’s secession declaration:

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. That we do not overstate the dangers to our institution, a reference to a few facts will sufficiently prove.

Whatcha got to say to that, Johnny Reb?[/quote]

Our beautiful southern flag honors our valor on the field, courtly virtues and independence.  Doesn’t have a damn thing to do with slavery, which was a horrific institution for which it seems we all keep paying the price.[/quote]

You are brainwashed.

I know my history. The south was unhappy that Lincoln was elected (sound familiar?) so they tried to flat out ignore the election results and force federal troops out of federal property in Sumpter, SC. Then they attacked the federal troops that were stationed there. They hated Lincoln because he opposed the expansion of slavery into the western territories. The wealthy slave holding powers in the south manufactured the whole states rights BS so that they could get poor whites to die in order to maintain their own economic power through the enslavement of other human beings. Many southerners were actually Union supporters and were attacked on their own lands by their “honorable” brothers and neighbors. Imagine having your own neighbors burn your home and kill your family just because you want to stay an American citizen on your family farm?

Please explain what is honorable about attacking a US Army base? I bet you think Jan 6 was about honor as well, huh?

You lost. You are traitors against the democratically elected government of the USA. Take your delusional fairytales and go back to wherever you slithered out from.[/quote]
