Memories Evoked by the Old South’s New Flag

View Image
Reconstruction

The Old South’s new flag represents all Confederates imprisoned or dead in Union prisons, all Confederate warriors and all civilians killed during and after the war. Some Southerners see this flag, also, as a poignant reminder of all that Reconstruction was, of all that Confederates lost and all the sufferings experienced by those captured civilians and x-military who were imprisoned, not in a formal prison, but in their own Southern state itself because of the Marxist-Republicans’ program of Reconstruction.

All true Southerners, white ones, brown ones, black ones, red ones—no matter their ages, were, definitely, imprisoned by the U.S. government when all folks in every Southern state became slaves under the total control of the U.S. government’s military leaders. Torture and death could be administered to Confederates during Reconstruction at any time on the slightest whim of any General assigned as the controller of a Southern district. Extortion of Southerners was almost routine. The U.S. Republican-controlled government taxed all true Southerners into poverty and destitution, thus virtually enslaving everyone with any connection with anyone who wore the gray. Even General Sherman and his Republican Senator brother profited economically from dirt cheap Southerners’ lands’ “taxed away by the victors.

    What flag are you talking about?

    Is there a picture of it anywhere?

    Personally, I think the "Bonny Blue Flag" is the best contemporary emblem of rebellion and resistance, due to its historic origins, which predate all other flags, except for the Stars and Stripes.

    I also like the Third National "Bloodstained" Confederate Flag, because technically, or possibly legally, it remains the official national emblem of the Confederate States of America, a government that never actually surrendered, but merely fell apart and dissolved.

    You're probably already aware that when the various Confederate generals surrendered, they could only surrender the armies they personally commanded, as those generals had no authority or ability to surrender the nation as a whole.

    Thank you.

  2. I assume that it is in defense of the Battle Flag and I agree with your other comments. I have all three Nationals which I fly at times alongside the Bonnie Blue and the Battle.
