On the Origin of the Confederate Flag

[Collimatrix]

I had wondered why on earth the Confederate flag was called "stars and bars," seeing as it lacks any bars.

 

Now I know.

Ignorance of history gets you these things. 

 

The actual stars & bars looks rather boring, I can see why racists like to use the battle flag as it has a more memorable and imposing look. 

 

There are much cooler flags though. The Isle of Man, Albania, Sicily, Algeria all are rad rags.

You... Didn't know that the BFoTAoV was not the Confederate Flag? Really?

Maybe Colli has too much Yankee blood in him?

The Battle Flag is a far more attractive flag with its similarity to Scotland's St. Andrew flag. I really wish idjits would take some time to familiarize themselves with its origins (on all sides of the political debate).

As always, the proper place for the Battle Flag is atop of 1968 Dodge Chargers.

And apparently it was a liability in combat!
