Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

2nd place is 1st loser
There is context here that i am lacking
Weirdest moment I ever saw one was on the front grill of a logging truck in the middle of nowhere in far northern Quebec where no one spoke any English.
Hes confused but he got the racist spirit
We human beings are such bizarre creatures
Not technically the last flag of the Confederacy.
They should fly their last flag with pride
As noted on the Stainless Banner, the icon is General Lee's battle standard. The "muh hairy-tidge" group is idealizing the general who is leading the charge for racism.
Damn this one's been slapped by the JPEG stick.
Legends say there was legible text in there somewhere, once upon a time.
Stars and bars would make more sense. Can almost appreciate it.
Then they went full racist.
I mean, as far as I'm concerned, they all get the business end of a Gatling gun.
If you're gonna rebel against the USA, at least do it for decent reasons
Oh yeah definitely. But at least that first flag pretended to be legit
The Stainless Banner being about white supremacy seems debatable. That explanation struck me as something made up by a contemporary, but after the fact.
The flag is also known as the Stainless Banner, and the matter of the person behind its design remains a point of contention. On April 23, 1863, the Savannah Morning News editor William Tappan Thompson, with assistance from William Ross Postell, a Confederate blockade runner, published an editorial championing a design featuring the battle flag on a white background he referred to later as "The White Man's Flag", a name which never caught on.[6] In explaining the white background of his design, Thompson wrote, "As a people, we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."
April 23 is before the adoption of the new flag, so at the very least, it was not after the fact.
