Of course, but only because it hasn't even been long enough for that stuff to be "memorabilia" yet.

I never got why it's always the confederate battle flag, too, and not the flag of the CSA. Nobody gives a poo poo about silver medalists.

Because the CSA's citizens didn't really care about the leadership, the President was mostly hated. Lee was the icon of the CSA and the South loved him, and he probably would've been elected President next had he not been too busy chasing slaves around the North and getting his rear end whooped while trying to find shoes in Pennsylvania. The States were too busy bickering over (hilariously) State's Rights and who had to take care of the Army and keep the war effort supplied.

It's not even the confederate battle flag. It's the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.

Yes. South Carolina had to borrow a defunct military unit from another state's flag to display their heritage.

No, it was the National Flag, they just had difficulty telling it apart at a distance through field glasses so they removed the white around it.

It was the second CSA flag.

Sherman had the best quotes:

quote:

You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out.

Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now we stand by each other.

I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.

If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.

There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.

War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.

If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve.

Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.

I grew up in various Southern locales, and don't recall the Confederate flag being very prominent except on the odd redneck pickup. The only real emotional connection I ever felt to it was the General Lee because Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane can eat my dust. Then again, the only Civil War-era American ancestors I have were a Union officer and Natives, so maybe I'm not a good example.

So maybe we can compromise: the Confederate flag can still be displayed, but only on on the roof of an orange 1969 Dodge Challenger.
