Mona, Please forgive my ignorance for I am not really a Civil War buff. What is the "Southern Cross?" The CSA flag that I see and recognize is the one that I have always called the "Stars and Bars," i.e., the flag with a solid field upon which is superimposed an "X" containing one star for each of the Confederate states. This is the one which is joined by five others at "Six Flags Over Texas." Incidentally, should that theme park also do away with the flags of [1] Spain, because of its horrible treatment of the [then] Indian population of New Spain, [2] France, whose Louisiana and Texas plantation owners owned slaves and [3] Mexico, whose Santa Anna murdered the defenders of the Alamo? I think not. Tom Mona Herrin wrote: > > > My ancestors fought for the Confederacy too.
