Bonnie Blue Flag

[rain_gryphon]

We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil,
Fighting for the property we earned by common toil.
And when our rights were threatened. the cry rose near and far,
Hurrah for the bonnie blue flag, that bears a single star!

...and slavery, too!

Only in retrospect did the War become a crusade against slavery.

Hurray for the Republic of West Florida (http://republicofwestflorida.org/)!

I was thinking of it more in connection with the Confederacy, actually.

Myself, I'm thinking of using it more as a symbol of secession in general. I finally have a flag I can hold high!

Showing my colors

I don't generally think favorably of stickers/signs on cars, least of all on my own car, but in these cases, I just couldn't help but show my true colors!

Somewhere I have my "Don't Tread On Me" flag. Probably under a bunch of plush otters, or in a closet back in CT.
