Reply #19: This will help with the CSA flag deal.... [View All]

Personally i see nothing wrong with the CSA flag.
The flag that most of you see is the Confederate Battle flag.
Basically it was to the CSA flag that the Union Jack is to the
Flag of the USA.
The first CSA flag looked too close to the Flag of the USA so it
was changed later to distinguish it from the Union flag.
Here is an example:

This is the first flag of the CSA.

Later on the flag finally evolved to a white flag with the Crossed
bars and stars in the upper right and a red vertical strip down
the right side.
This is the final flag of the CSA.....


The Battle flag was just that, a standard carried into battle.
It was the flag of the south during the War of Northern aggression,
(Civil war to you yanks ;) ).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not one to start an argument but just like to
see the facts straight.
Lots of men died under that flag, men of all colors died fighting
for the south.
Seeing that I live in South Louisiana it really isn't that big a deal
down here, i'm just a history buff.
As for the flag though I don't see a problem with flying it.
Just my opinion of course.
Take care all.
