All you that love to fly your American flag, and tote your Confederate flag on the back of your 97 silverado are walking hypocites.

The CSA was the biggest enemy us Americans have ever faced. And defeated. I would never fly an enemy nations flag, no matter what my heritage is.

Glad THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA won. Sympathize with the enemyall you want. Its wrong.

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?
