Yeah how dare people who were actually there be the ones to tell it as is
Sadly because this is the land for white hate groups (I love it here, but its a sad truth), any symbol taken up by the south will be taken up by the hate groups as well.Hey man this stuff is polarizing, people get upset.
I thought i tried to make it clear that i don't want to make some law banning the flag altogether. I hope that people find new ways to show their southern pride, using symbols that have not been used by hate groups.
Your grandfather wasn't there.
And even the hundred year old reb vet her gpapa heard it from in the 1920's spent most of his time in the war in a POW camp.
Her stories make me think of that social experiment, where you tell one person a story, and by the time it gets to the 20th person, it's a completely different story. I'd bet $20 Confederate dollars that that is exactly what has happened here.
Actually, that is just one of the non states notes and half truths again. They couldn't rely on one currency like the states did so many different confederate states had their own money system of confederate dollars.

I have learned something they had to rely on different notes made by people rather than the treasury a non state sanctioned one actually. That's a Georgia one you posted."non states notes" ??? "half truths" -- Showing graphic history is half-truths? Denial is rich.
You really should learn a little something about US currency notes back Circa 1860.
Nonetheless, that does not remove the horrid stain of the CSA and its intimate marriage with human trafficking.

No because I don't and there is nothing in a of my posts to suggest I do. So we have started off our intercourse on a lie, yours. that does not bode well for you.
Now, if you have specific complaints from the CANADIAN professors who taught me, and have read my paper on the underground railroad where I researched the stories of slaves who broke free and risked their lives to get to my country and free of the in-bred bastards that were trying to kill them by actually visiting the sons and daughters of slaves in Chatham, Ontario.
And maybe you can correct my prof who spent five years in the deep south researching its history, personally researching because he did not believe US history books. I guess to you he'd be a lyin' Yankee too.
What's a really weird thing is -- I don;t think the HorseGirl is racist. She's one of the few who cling to the Lost Cause who isn't.
She just, in no way in blazing hell, can abide her grandpapa lied to her. It all emanates from there.
A dough-eyed little girl with twinkly eyes at her beloved old octogenarian pops knee is what I see -- and no advance from that.
sorry my mistake they look the sameNo, I posted a Virginia note.
Prior to the early-mid Civil war years and Lincoln signing the National Currency Act, instituting a national currency - Banks - private entities, issued paper currency, all across the country -- leading to some 8,000 different types of notes.
There was no "issued by the treasury" paper money prior to the CW - anywhere.
How did you determine that?
Non sequitur.What qualifies you to be the white arbiter of all things racist?

Interacting with Lost Causers for well over 20 years.
Non sequitur.

You would be wrong
No, in 1861 there was not racial equality before the law. This is another typical example of where you cannot understand VERY simple points. It doesn't matter how much I reduce the points down, there is some fault that stops you from reading the words I post and process them. The point made by Caine was that the idea, the concept of equality of the races did not exist in 1861. I pointed out that is completely false. He then tried to argue that the concept was not widespread, which again is false. He then tried to argue that the concept was not widely accepted, finally massaging his comment into a truth, but that took multiple attempts to reach. I wonder how many posts of hand holding and repeating previously made points it will take to get you to a position of clearly understanding the concepts and the chronology of this exchange between Caine and I that you decided to jump into without understanding, without reviewing carefully to where you ask if I was claiming that racial equality before the law existed in 1861.I am jumping in to this one but are you claiming that Caine's point is invalid because before the law, blacks and whites were treated equally?
You did not win a "gotcha" since no one is claiming that there was not racists in the North. Complete fail. Further, you did not even address anything related to the currency in circulation, the state of banking in the US pre-CW, so you produced a non-sequitur to boot.Playing "gotcha" on the internet does jack squat to end discrimination and bigotry.
You righteous indignation is duly noted.

Secondhand anecdotal evidence isn't worth spit.
I'll take the word of actual historians over the word of your grandpappy.
