Your people died under that flag while engaging in armed action against the Union, fighting for the side that wanted to preserve and enshrine slavery. You know, just in case anyone was misled by your bullshit, Chism.
Yup yup.The Rebel Flag is a modern invention of racists, it was never officially flown in battle or otherwise. The one it was based on was square, making it a different flag, and only flew over one company in the Confederacy. Most Confederate soldiers wouldn’t have even recognized it. Didn’t have to, there were many Confederate flags but only one union flag. They only needed to recognize the one.
Yeah, those fuckers killed men in the US Army. To preserve slavery. And then the officer corps and political leaders weren’t executed at the end of the war like they should have been. John Brown got it worse for being a hero.
Absolutely. 40 acres and a mule. Along with the vote. During reconstruction many people in government were freedmen. Can you imagine what our country would be like now if that continued?
These racist fascists really have fucked things over

They fought against the USA not the Union. Fighting the Union makes it sound like they were not traitors
That’s a bit pedantic. The Union was synonymous with the USA (even at the time); the Confederates or “rebels” were and are synonymous with the CSA.
Nah it is not because it reminds those that celebrate the traitors that they were traitors.

IMO (most of) the land should’ve been taken and given to the freed people, reconstruction failed.
