quote:

The removed flags include the first and second national flags of the Confederate States of America as well as two earlier versions of the U.S. flag. Stone said the four banners had historical ties to the fort, which was surrendered by Union forces in 1861 as the war began but retaken by them as the war wound to an end.


quote:

Stone said the fort’s wayside markers explaining the history behind the fort’s various flags will remain, “but we probably won’t be re-raising them per the director’s policy.”




They aren't even safe in what is essentially a museum.

Also, keep in mind that the battle flag never even flew here.

This wouldn't be a problem if the South hadn't lost, now would it?

Losers.

Ok, that's enough. This insanity needs to stop. Either that or these directors need to grow a pair of balls.

Good. The more trashy flags taken down the better.

I've started noticing more Confederate flags of late. Confederate license plates, displayed at houses. I might get one since they're so popular now. They're pretty.

I'm not a neoconfederate but taking it off of fort Sumter is ludicrous

The Confederate military had the better military minds by a mile. Money was the issue.

I live in an HOA neighborhood in Florida, sidewalks, uptight neighbors and even some of them have 3x5 Confederate flags waving now lol. Some change is good in life, but it's obvious this is a blatant attack and is dividing a nation.

Well, we certainly give them the opportunity. They would rather get drunk instead of take advantage of their situation.

Warsaw keeps the Nazi flags inside museums not flying outside, even at Auschwitz there are no Nazi flags flying outside

If the Nazis enemies also put Jews in concentration camps and killed millions then your post might be relevant

Yep, the Anaconda Plan worked. Basically crippled the CSA economy. Grant gets all the credit because he accepted the surrender. Winfield Scott won the war for the Union.
