The Appomattox Surrender Flag of the US Confederacy. Arguably, the true final flag of the confederacy was a dishtowel.

    Weird that you never see a pickup truck flying this banner.

      I’m in TN right now visiting a friend, and we took a stroll through a few historic sites/battlegrounds/cemetaries for memorial day yesterday.

      Was surprised to see that there were a handful of graves with fresh confederate flags erected next to them

        I hope someone came and removed the litter.

    The period between now and COVID-19 is longer than the lasting of the Confederate States of America

    In fairness, no self-respecting army would carry a surrender flag with them. They would just improvise if they needed one…
