re: Is it wrong to have your photo taken in front of Old Glory or Confederate flag? (long)

I grew up reading about the Civil War. As a young person I read about Gettysburg and the other battles and found it all incredibly interesting. I loved reading about Jackson "outsmarting" the Yanks or how Lee struggled with his decision to remain loyal to Virginia. I also enjoyed reading about the heroics of the Maine men at Gettysburg and how Grant, his officers and the Union troops assembled at Appomattox had so much respect and reverence for the southerners.

Not once during that entire time when I was forming my life long opinions of the war did I give more than a seconds thought to the flag.
