Opis

There is probably no emblem more maligned and misunderstood. Than the rebel flag .Its detractors claim it represents slavery and oppression its supporters that it stands for freedom and the struggle to break free from the excesses of Government. In This book you will learn the facts and the history behind this symbol and how its original purpose has been twisted and spun by those with political ends. Among the facts you may not know are, 1.Slavery was not a factor in the Southern States seceding from the union. The resolution passed by congress in 1861 made that abundantly clear. 2.The St Andrews cross flag so maligned by the media was never the flag of the Confederate States of America. It was a Battle flag used to assist troop movements on the battlefield 3.Freed Black Slaves fought alongside White soldiers for the confederacy fully integrated not segregated as in the North. 4.Union Commander Ulysses S Grant continued to own slaves until after the war ended. Confederate Commander Robert E Lee never owned any slaves during the conflict and frequently spoke out against slavery. 5.The Emancipation Proclamation only applied to slaves in the South.Northern slave owners were not affected. 6. Lincoln was not in any way an abolitionist and frequently supported anti-black legislation 7.The slave owner with the most slaves in the south was neither white nor a man. She was a negress widow who with her son owned 157 slaves in Louisiana. There were many reasons for the Civil war. None involved a flag . You owe it to yourself to get the facts and the truth. This book will give you those facts. Only then you can decide for yourself what the rebel flag stood for..
