RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Politics and Current Events Alright, conservatives. What do you think about the Stars and Bars?

Being a Southerner I can probably give a little more insight to the whole "Southern Heritage" issue. I'll do that later after I get home from work. I do want to point out now, though, that the flag you're referring to isn't the Stars and Bars. That's the actual flag of the CSA. The flag you refer to on South Carolina's capital is the battle flag or Southern Cross. It was adopted because the national flag of the CSA and the USA looked too similar especially when there was no wind making identifying troops as friend of foe difficult (in the early part of the war in 1861 many of the Southern regiments also wore blue uniforms before the grey color was adopted outright).
