If you want to support the American flag, ok, but I hope you know that the American Constitution supported slavery.


The US Constitution also abolished slavery so redress was made however the Confederate Constitution never got amended to abolish slavery. So yes support the American Flag, it stands for redemption and Freedom.

You just can’t wipe out our history and that seems the ultimate goal of the left, to rewrite all our history they do not like. It isn’t racist to me.
But then I don’t expect the world to cave to my feelings, right or wrong.

The Truth is much of the Confederate Army were black. If it was about freedom why didn’t the slaves revolt when all the white boys were gone fighting the Yankees? Its about Jim Crow—Repression, racism for political purposes. Its not a flag, its not hate—its about power in the Democratic Party and getting Hillary the all powerful Black Vote.

Why do you think that didn't happen?

Let me get this straight:

So, because the Unions’ Constitution was amended AFTER the war (it sure wasn’t a ‘Civil War’ by definition - the Conf. had their own seat of power, the North theirs, but I digress); the Emancipation being an unlawful edict (that did NOTHING for the Northern blacks) of Lincoln...that’s ‘OK’?

But, the Confederacy, having LOST the War, is ‘bad’ for not changing their Constitution...though they not longer existed?
