re: How are you remembering Union Soldiers that died in the Civil War

2nd CSA flag after the first one was deemed to similar too the American flag.



On April 23rd, 1863, the Savannah Morning News editor William Tappan Thompson, with assistance from William Ross Postell, a Confederate blockade runner, published an editorial championing a design featuring the battle flag on a white background he referred to later as "The White Man's Flag.

In explaining the white background, Thompson wrote, "As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."

But yeah, state's rights.

But the CSA finally objected because it represented surrender.

How many flags did the CSA go through?

Sorry you're so upset that the silent majority isn't silent anymore. Suck it up Buttercup, times are a changing.

I voted for Trump I'll have you know

I don't know what this means

I'll respectfully remember their sacrifice by not flying confederate battle flags of pretending the war was fought for economic reasons that were somehow not directly tied to slavery.

You don't have to agree with the motivations of the bureaucrats who started a war to take arms against an invading army that brings death, ruin & starvation to you and your loved ones. Read up on the red river campaign baws. Thieving northerners followed the wake of the warpath to further plunder the homesteads of those who happened to be on the path. You can't reduce a complex issue into such mindnumbingly simple drivel as "but slavery man!, slavery!"

I prefer the United States of America to a continent akin to Africa. I don't know how we would have looked as a nation if the South had won.

The sacrifice on both sides is nothing short of breathtaking. I cannot even begin to comprehend.

Hey man, if you hate The United States, and the things we did, there's an exit door right over there. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya. --------->

One post about Union soldiers. One. Amid the dozens of posts about Confederates. And suddenly I'm trolling?

Willful ignorance it is then. Lovely

There are monuments everywhere across the country that perfectly illustrate their sacrifice. Like Chicago for example...
