Historical perspectives
The "Southern Cross" better known under the nickname "Stars & Bars", was never the Confederate Flag. Rather it was a Confederate Naval Jack first used in 1863 which is similar to the Tennessee Battle Flag. What this boils down to, is that those who proclaim the "Stars & Bars" as a piece of history, are really caught up in a large manipulation of history, primarily by the Ku Klux Clan. The "Stars & Bars" was never the Confederate National Flag; rather it was a rally to war. This is the reason why the KKK chose to center their attention on this Naval Jack. This is why when those who claim to try to hold onto their history, and deny that the "Stars & Bars" is a racist symbol, are deluding themselves. This is why the "Stars & Bars" should be left in the museum, not on bumper stickers or on state capitols.Trackback Pings
