The thing is, the US flag is the flag of slavery, too

A bit of historical irony. The very day that the confederate flag came down over Columbia, and the same day Columbia was burned to the ground by Union soldiers, who slashed the fire hoses of the fire brigades, 20 black women were raped by Union soldiers and one black woman was murdered. No white women were raped, because citizens kept firearms and because of the southern code of honor. It is part of he historical record. They never taught this in high school.

So much for the Union loving black people.

Something juicy like this and a claim of the historical record but no citation.

How odd.

Then there’s the 1863 draft riots in New York City, where black orphanages were burned and blacks were lynched. Many lives were lost. It was an ugly situation.
