I was watching History 2 last night about the US Flags. It was explained that in the civil war most military on both sides had the typical gray uniforms and caried the US flag. As a result, many deaths occurred in units from gunfire and shelling from other units of their same army.

The Yankees gradually went to blue uniforms and the Confederates went to the battle flag, to better distinguish the two sides and prevent deaths from friendly fire.

It’s ludicrous for blacks and lame politicians to claim that the battle flag is a symbol of racism!
