I used to live in Virginia and North Carolina and I understand that there are good people that cling to the confederate flag as a symbol of their southern heritage with no animus whatsoever meant towards fellow Americans of color. That said, it shouldn't be only what they think of the flag anymore, but the other evil symbolism that hurts fellow Americans should also be taken into account as well. If a southerner wishes to fly that flag on his own property, then that is his right. But, I agree, it is time to take the confederate flag down from public and government property.Darrell Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474956372325309461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408858764761620479.post-43539983403398108722015-06-20T13:52:28.086-06:002015-06-20T13:52:28.086-06:00Yet the war flag of the slave states still flies o...Yet the war flag of the slave states still flies over South Carolina. <br /><br />How can anyone not see this as an insult to the Black population?<br /><br />If the South is so proud of their heritage, why are they only focused on the failed rebellion of the slavemasters?<br />Dave Dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279370558997246976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408858764761620479.post-57324719266122459282015-04-15T06:35:00.627-06:002015-04-15T06:35:00.627-06:00Great post T.Paine.

The surrender actually happened next door to the Courthouse at McLean House. The whole historical park is very beautiful and peaceful.TB3https://www.blogger.com/profile/18261016141806763895noreply@blogger.com
