The Confederate flag

Further, the banner that people tend to fly and to which some tend to object is an historically inaccurate version of the Confederate Battle Flag. The latter was a square, while the modern take-off has the rectangular shape that we tend to associate with flags. Really, I think that a preferrable historical banner would be the first official flag of the Confederate civil authority, the Stars and Bars, with its circle of stars in the blue canton in the upper left corner and the three "bars" of red and white. That flag was never co-opted by unworthy groups like the KKK.

Edit: I'm not sure, but I think a post to which I was partially responding has disappeared.

There was a guy on Folly Rd back in the 70's that had the reb flag modified with the face of his dog (German Shepard) at the junction of the arms of the St Andrew's cross.

Just fyi.

Yep, was that at that carry-out on the corner of Folly and the road that went back to Secessionville Acres or at the old garage where you could get your car repaired which was near there?

The old garage is where I used to see it flying.
