NO. The Confederate Flag is a part of history. People who try to erase history, will never learn from it. It is historically accurate to use the flag in the re-enactments.
the world has always been a little nuts, now its just plain crazy, even my old church now calls me a heretic if i display the falf, the southern baptist church has forbidden its members to display the flag, i say lets start a church thats worried about jesus and salavation, not pc
State Senator vanessa brown should be removed ! She is an idiot ! Remove the Confederate Flag from anything - NO WAY. I have a Confederate Flag on my living room wall with a sword with 13 stars on the hilt.
I"M A REBEL.
What a stupid remark when much more important things must be resolved in Pa. Like- more money needed!
Raise the dam sales tax by 1 % , and make internet sales company collect sales tax on internet sales.
This current frantic attempt to erase and change our history is beneath contempt - as are the people who go along with it. The Confederate Flag is a big part of our nation's history. Love it or hate it, it's important to us. It's time for Americans to stand up and be strong. To do their best to hold our nation together and keep it intact...the good as well as the bad...because all of it were parts that came together to make up the whole. Right now, whether due to apathy or ignorance, too many Americans are sitting back and watching bits and pieces of our freedoms and our history being shredded and discarded. We - that is WE THE PEOPLE - have to put a stop to it before it's too late.
Removing a battle flag from battles it's a part of would be like going to a baseball game without any bats if you remove a part your never enjoy it as much as you would if you get everything. History is still history no matter if you like it. Would you take the nazi flag away from the history of world war 2 no to do so would be a disservice to the man who take part this is the same thing but for the civil war.
No!!!! It represents the war between the north and the south and is a part of our history. if it offends people they need to leave to their magical island where nothing will offend them. But then again im sure they woyld find something to wine about
The National Flag of the Confederacy along with the Confederate Battle Flag are a big part of this Nation's history! That war was begun over States Rights. Slavery did not become an issue until Mr. Lincoln came up for reelection in 1863/ 64. I wish that war would have never been fought as so many good American men died. Many battles saw tens of thousands dead. In a single battle. They were all good American boys. I am from Wisconsin born and raised and you could take our state and it would fit in real nice if it were between say Alabama and Mississippi, or Lousiana. Half of the men of fighting age in Wosconsin did not go off to fight in that war as they did not feel that it concerned them. We had farms and businesses to run. After Gettysburg half of the States militia from Wisconsin, Illinois and Michegan packed up and went home. It was not their war and they saw it as immoral for Americans to be killing each other. I served in the Army for just over seven years, posted at Ft. Hood for a a couple of years. Had the honor of serving with and becoming friends with a lot of young men from all over the South. Good guys! All of them! Though everyone was proud of the Confederacy and that beautiful flag. Nobody put on Klan robes after work. We drank, played a lot of cards, chased hot young ladies and had a whole lot of fun!!!! I miss everyone! Getting back to that flag. It is a travesty how we let left wing liberals walk over us. I support the South and all my good friends down there and your magnificant way of life!!!!! GB
Hey Brown, Remove your Goofy Looking Statue of "Marty Loser Coon" out of our PRESIDENTS park in DC, it does not belong there (Thats why they call it PRESIDENTS PARK MORON)!!! CONFEDERATE Flags belong ANYWHERE seen fit, I.E. Above buildings, Cemeteries, on people's homes, grave sites, or Like in my case, a 3'x5' Confederate Flag hangs next to my 3'x5' USA flag on my wall...Come take it if you can ASSHOLE !!!!!!
Hey Brown, Remove your Goofy Looking Statue of "Marty Loser Coon" out of our PRESIDENTS park in DC, it does not belong there (That's shy they call

The War Between the States is American history. American history is OUR history. STOP revising it, whitewashing it, trying to "PC" it, lying about it, hiding it, and denying it! OWN it. Embrace it!
The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Gods and Generals, Miracles and Massacres. It is OURS. Leave it alone!
The reenactment of any battle should be period correct not politically correct.
I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way, the social and political equality of the white and black races. That I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negros, nor qualifing them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people. And in addition to this, I will say, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races, that prevents us from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while we do remain together, there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
Abraham Lincoln, in the Lincoln - Douglas debates of 1858
Now folks, if you really believe, that the man who said this, sent over 360,000 white men to their deaths, and spent millions and millions of dollars in capital, to bring freedom to a race of people, that he OBVIOUSLY couldn't give two shits about in the first place.......then I got some oceanfront property in Arizona I'd love to sell ya!
The greatest fairytales ever are often told in the history books of the American class rooms, and in this age of information, where TRUE historical facts can no longer be suppressed and swept under the rug by the victors version of history.....ignorance is truly a choice!
Want undeniable proof that the war was not over slavery either way,...that they don't dare teach in school?!
Look up and research Lincoln's Corwin Amendment proposal of 1861.
The Confederacy and it's banners, have been given an unfair and unjust vilification by the false victors lies, and misuse by racist and hate filled idiots for decades and decades,
and to demonize OFFICIAL AMERICAN WAR VETERANS, and the banners in which they valiantly fought and died under, simply on your ignorance of true historical fact, is not only unrighteous, but tyranical and unconstitutional!
Stop your unwarranted attacks on southern heritage and it's symbols, before dialog and diplomacy in this disagreement runs it's course to no avail, and other measures pursued.....
Absurd. You cannot reshape history to people's liking. It is what it is.
Only a moron would try to sweep true history under the mat. What happened... Happened..
I hope your next question will be on whether the United States flag should be banned. Tired of all the anti-Confederate bigotry.
Understanding history, or sanitizing it. Learning lessons from uncomfortable truths, or denying their existence. Perhaps we shouldn't fly the Stars and Stripes on native American lands and pretend that these people relocated themselves willingly to the least hospitable areas of our country. And then, there is respect for the veterans and their descendants...a deeply flawed and clearly lost cause...but many people served as they felt they must, and so many gave their full measure. Haters are destructive, divisive and awful, but deniers do us no better service.
This goes beyond ridiculous! This is a factual historical re-enactment.
Of course not! What will the thought police call for next? How about eliminating Confederate soldiers at the War Between the States re-enactments? The Yankees could just fight each other.
