It is funny to me, I was raised in the South and I have never thought of the Confederate Flag as anything than one of the "Six Flags over xxx" and an historical artifact, a Piece of History. Slavery in America started under the Bristish Flag as far back as 1620 and it was that way for the first 155 years, so do we ask all of the British Embassies to remove their flag from our country? The Confederate Flag had nothing to do with slavery. It was the people at the time, the same ancestors that made this country what it is from both points of view. Nothing more.. ___________________________________________________ The Directory to all my sites at - http://www.horace.peele.com Horace Peele, 12806 Chateau Forest, San Antonio, TX 78230 _________________ô¿ô For More Peeles__________________ Thank you, Horace.
