Guess which flag was considered treason by the British  |
Well, I guess the best I can provide is a comparison. Would you find it okay if an adult today was hanging this flag over his house:
because his grandfather fought bravely in WWII and he wanted to honor his legacy? I think the American Civil War is very unique in that the Confederacy (the losing side) is celebrated almost as much as the Union. Just take a trip down south and you'll see all the monuments dedicated to the bravery of the South. Not something you'd find in Germany I'd imagine.
Out of interest, what do people think of John Brown, a domestic terrorist or a hero?
