Thot is a fun word ya square olds.

A word so monomaniacally devoted to depersonizing and dehumanizing :females: that it sacrifices flow, meaning and usability to do so. It can't function grammatically in even the most grammatically loose American dialects.

It's a one use joke: "Who's thot?" Then nobody gets it, and you have to spell it out. The guys who are always talking about :females: chuckle.
It's like a six year old's first booger joke. Except the booger joke doesn't need to be explained.

The 22nd's banner, as well as individualized banners for the 10 other US Colored Troops regiments mustered at Camp William Penn near Philadelphia, were made by David Bustill Bowser, a member of a prosperous and active black Philadelphia family. He was (primarily) a commercial painter. Bowser was also a businessman, philanthropist, abolitionist, recruiter, actively in civil rights of the day in PA and Philadelphia, a stop on the Underground Railroad, and painter of a portrait of John Brown from when Brown spent the night at the Bowser's. His wife was a seamstress, which worked well for their business.

There is at least one surviving USCT banner, from the 127th. That banner informs/verifies the bold colors on the replicas of the banner from the 22nd. There are contemporary (or at least within 25 years or so) pictures of a few of the regimental banners, including the 22rd, which is how the form of the replica was preserved. Several USCT banners were given to the West Point Museum for preservation in 1906, but were thrown out in 1940.

The "th" as a generic abbreviation for any ordinal number was apparently a thing in the mid to late 1600s. It may have been a printing/typesetting issue(?) rather than a spoken or written convention. In any event, 200 years later in 1863, 22nd would have been abbreviated the same way we do. Bowser also did the banner for the 3rd USCT Regiment, and abbreviated it 3RD So who knows why the 22th?

Wtf? I guess they weren’t kept in archival conditions?

quote:

Richard Sauers wrote in his book, Advance the Colors! Pennsylvania Civil War Battle Flags that many of the USCT flags made their way from the State Mustering office in Philadelphia (where a flag was held for safe keeping) to the War Department for storage. In 1906 they were transferred to the Museum at West Point. Documented in this transfer are the flags of the 22nd, 25th, 32nd, 43rd and 127th USCT. By the start of WWII storage had become an issue, and the condition of some flags had become so poor that they were discarded. Sauers mentions that only one flag identified as a Pennsylvania USCT remained in the museum in 1940, but he does not state which one.

What sort of idiotic derail are you loving grammarians trying to create over some dick graffiti. I may be a poo poo poster but holy gently caress y'all are dumb.
