wrong

And it was never the official flag of the confederacy even

Then it wan't the confederate flag

It was the battle flag of Northern Virginia or something

The real flag is better

Nice flag you got there

wrong one retard

looks like an autist with ms paint made it in 5 minutes

The actual Stars and Bars looked too similar to the Union flag so most of the military created their own battle flags.

And eventually the Stars and Bars was ignored in favor of the Virginia battle flag.

It definitely wasn't the only flag with that design though.

@εïз irma εïз My dad believes in the "muh state's rights" meme

And no matter what evidence I show him against it, he won't accept it as proof because it's either "on the internet, so someone made it up" or if it's in print, then "it's just revisionist propaganda"

Have you shown him the original documents detailing the reasons for secession?

I've tried to

But the only way I can show them to him is by finding it online, and my dad is one of those proto-boomer types that thinks anything found on the internet is a work of fabrication when it doesn't confirm what he thinks @εïз irma εïз

You have to kill him.

find the original documents in a museum

20 min until livestream debate

Some old encyclopedias may have the information or college libary

@εïз irma εïз that’s patently incorrect revisionism

The issue of slavery was the root cause of the confederacy seceding from the union

Lincoln’s personal feelings dug up from his journals on the matter aside

Literally what I said.

You're losing your touch. You did the same thing yesterday.

👎

That’s not what you said at all

I’m re-reading your comments

You're free to rereread them.

The issue of slavery was central in political conversations of the day

You are claiming otherwise

It's exactly what I'm claiming though.

Why is it that everyday I have to correct another arrogant “hot take” from you

Again, you are free to rereread.

“The Civil War was about slavery to the south but didn't become an issue for the North until 1863.”

Just wrong on so many accounts

Hurr Durr

You literally pulled a date out of your ass to sound more intelligent

Lincoln did not want to risk losing support from vital border states like Maryland which were vital for supplying assaults into the South.

It wasn't until later that it became a moralizing issue.
