Okay, but as long as we’re going full-on Civil War vexillology geek here, the canton of the Second and Third National Flags was the battle flag of the Army of Virginia, not that of the Army of Tennessee. Which makes sense given that if you were the Confederate Congress, the whole rest of the war was likely to look like a sideshow compared to the Army you might well believe was the only thing standing between you and a hangman’s noose. (At least right up until Sherman took at Atlanta and said “hey, fuck a bunch of supply lines!”)
Terrible thing to do to a wetland.

Back in the late 80’s after the Tx v Johnson case and through the 90’s and 00’s there was an effort to amend the constitution and pass a flag desecration amendment. Yet many of those who supported the amendment had trouble deciding what country they were a part of and were quite solicitous of the flag of treason namely the Dukes of Hazzard actor John Schneider who made a career out of driving a car with the confederate battle flag on the roof.
I think a better use for it is to make diapers. Confederate flag themed diapers.
The General Pee. Poops of Hazzard.
Yea I prefer to cut up ones that I find into approximately 4.5″ x 4.5″ squares, wipe my ass with them, and then flush them down the toilet.
Who’s the revisionist in these events - the people flying the flag or the people burning it? I’ll give you a hint - it ain’t the ones with the gas and the matches.
Why do I feel like I’ve wandered onto the set of Sheldon Cooper’s “Fun with Flags”?
The image of the gold lion rampant on an azure field was in my mind even as I wrote the comment. Flag nerdery is a real kind of nerdiness.
