Does anyone think MD is a nothern state in the real sense? It's below the Mason-Dixon line people!



Yes, real southerners consider Maryland to be a northern state.


+1 I'm a native of Virginia, and when I moved to Maryland some of my family started referring to me as a Yankee -- and this was in the 1980's!

I grew up seeing the Confederate flag on a regular basis; it was typically rough, 'redneck' people who would display it. The attitude was that the South 'would rise again' and wouldn't let the northern states tell them what to do and how to run things. Like many kids, I didn't think about the flag being racist, but rather a symbol of being proud to be from the South.

In this current world, where some see 'micro-aggressions' everywhere, and feminism means being able to accuse men of rape at times of your own choosing, there's no way your logical point will prevail. Sad state.

But the revolution against the Brits was okay. Ugh. History is indeed written by winners


Get back to us when you actually win something.

Meanwhile, whether it was written by the winners or not, the fact is, slavery was a core issue of dispute that led to the war. Anyone writing otherwise isn't writing as "loser" - they are writing as an outright LIAR.


Who is this poster with constant 'we', 'us' etc. An asylum patient with split personality disorder?


Projecting your own delusions? You're the one who's out of touch with reality, living in some bizarre parallel universe where the South is righteous and vindicated and where secession and war to defend the practice of slavery was a good thing...

Huh? Are you off your meds or something?


Are you a little slow on the uptake or something?

The PP here talking about "pride in my colors" when referring to the Confederate Flag obviously thinks the South is righteous and obviously thinks secession and war and the deaths of 600,000 for no good reason other than to defend the states' rights to practice slavery was a good thing. Because that is what the war was about and that is what the Confederate Flag represents.

Defending the Confederate flag = defending slavery.

You cannot separate one from the other.

Pride in my colors is not a defense of slavery.

does not sound like you want to live in a place that has freedom of speach.


Southerners got their opportunity to speak freely from 1861-1865 and the rest of America didn't much care for what we heard. We still don't much care for it today.


^ To add, we don't much care for it today - but you're nonetheless still free to speak freely today - nobody is stopping you from hoisting your precious Confederate flag. But then again, we are free to call you racist America-hating white supremacist scumbags for doing so, that's our own exercise of free speech - which you don't seem to want to hear.

I still think the secession was legal, after all, the union was a new concept. Racist north wrote history to make themselves appear morally superior.


It is a part of the SAD history of our country same as the Nazi flag is part of Germany's sad history. For God's sake - stop flaunting one of our most vile chapters in American history! MOVE ON!!!

how is the confederate flag a sad part of history, when the annihilation of the native Americans is never mentioned.
Or did the northern state inhabitants kill them too, or did they die from disease because every woman descided to show their baby to a white man who caughed on the child. Somehow the slaves never died like that.

Perhaps we forget that the Union represented white men. Blacks, women and natives did not have a vote. So it was not a republic for the people or by the people


Slavery was a terrible chapter in both American and world history, one whose effects are still felt today.

The annihilation of native Americans was also a terrible part of our history.

Disenfranchisement of and discrimination against women and non-whites were both wrong, as well, and some aspects of the discrimination continue today.

Those who currently most commonly carry and display the Confederate Flag embody the worst of those histories.

Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.


I'd like to remind everybody that slavery is still very much a part of the world present, including the U.S. If you feel so strongly about slavery, get and do something. Combat human trafficking or some shit.
