It was a white star edged in blue on a field of red. Inside the star is the number 46, referring to when the state came into the union in 1907 as the 46th state. This flag flew from 1911-1925 until it started to retain disfavor during the Russian Revolution in 1907. The red flag and single star resembled the Russian flag and was associated with Communism.

The removal of the Confederate Battle Flag. Was this a justifiable move made by South Carolina governor Nikki Haley or will this lead to more hatred among South Carolina residents and other United States citizens? The Civil War took place because of many disagreements between the Union and the Confederacy. One major disagreement, considered non-negotiable by both sides, was the ownership and sale of African American slaves. Now, the South Carolina Legislature has voted to remove the flag from the property of the South Carolina Capitol based upon recent events and the controversial opinion that this flag promotes racism. The Confederate flag and all other Civil War symbols should be removed because they convey the idea that racism is acceptable

WATKINS GLEN (WENY) - After a gunman opened fired at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, nearly two months ago, it sparked a conversation across the country over the symbolism of the Confederate Flag. That's because the man behind the crime was seen posing in pictures with the flag, which is also viewed by many as promoting racism, rather than Southern history. The debate prompted many industries to stop the sale of merchandise showing the Confederate Flag, including NASCAR.

Local governments must make sure all bodies in the community are happy, otherwise, the unhappiness of its citizens will start to affect other areas of concern for the government, like crime and the welfare of the community. If public spaces are for all of the public, then local governments must make sure that no citizen finds the artwork or monuments displayed in public areas offensive or harmful in any way. By doing this, the government ensures happy citizens and a comfortable environment for all.

The confederate flag shouldn’t be taken down, but, if taken down shouldn’t be forgotten in the South.First of all, the confederate flag represents the history of South Carolina and the past and present .

When talking about hot topics such as race, religion, sex orientation, politics and the dang confederate flag, you find out things you never knew about people. By the end of the conversation, some people might look at you differently. You might look at them differently. I realize that our culture and how we were raised, play a big part on how we feel about these topics. What the confederate flag means to one person, may be different from someone else. We need to keep in mind how sensitive some of these issues are. Before your quick to dismiss how someone feels, put yourself in that person's shoes. Be careful what you say because it could be missed-interpreted as something else. For example: if you believe in the confederate flag that can

The power that comes from an object or symbol is not inherent. At one point in human history a cross was simply just two sticks laying on top of each other. Humans gave it power by using it and acknowledging it as a symbol. The case is the same with the confederate flag. It is a powerful symbol because of the connotations that humans have given it. The problem is not everyone has the same idea on what the confederate flag stands for. Gene Demby, author of When The ‘Heritage’ In ‘Heritage Not Hate’ Is More Skynyrd Than Stonewall Jackson spoke to multiple people who all have different reasons for liking the flag. Rather than see it as a sign of slavery they connect the flag to their childhood or a memory they have that has literally nothing to do with slavery. Gene’s point is that the flag is significant based on personal heritage and experiences not that of the past. Hugh Howard author of, How the North distorts Civil War history has yet another approach. He doesn’t necessarily debate the meaning of the flag, but does illuminate that most people only have one side of the story when it comes to the reasons for the Civil War. The north was in favor of slavery just as much as the south, yet nobody seems to have a problem with the Union flag. This leads to the conclusion that it isn’t the flag itself that is the problem rather the people who endorse it. Lastly Byron Thomas, author of I am a black South Carolinian Here’s why I support the Confederate flag uses the fact that he is

For the past few months there has been lots of controversy of wither or not the Confederate Flag should be taken down. The removal of the Confederate Flag had been brought up again because a man by the name of Dylan Roof had shot and killed 9 innocent people who were attending Bible study at the Emanuel AME in Charleston, South Carolina, Wednesday June 17, 2015. People all over the United States have been arguing over this topic, no one can agree on wither or not we should take down the flag. In my opinion the flag and any other historical monument that relates to the Civil War should be left alone.

To many southerners, The Confederate Flag is a symbol of southern heritage and the strength of their ancestors. However, the placement of this flag on Texas government issued license plates has created much backlash. Some southerners take offense to the flag. They view the flag as a representation of hatred and white supremacy. According to Rev. George V. Clark, the flag “Represents hate, something that has made people feel less than human.” Although groups such as, The Sons of Confederate Veterans, see the flag in a positive light, the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, supports the rejection of the plates. Since it is such a delicate topic, he believes it is best not to “be scraping old wounds.” The nine other states that continue to provide

So many people are talking about whether or not the Confederate Flag is racist, and whether or not it should be banned in the U.S. Why are so many people even considering it? The Confederate Flag is definitely not racist. It represents a time of racism and discrimination, but does that truly mean that the flag itself is racist? Just because the flag represents the Confederate States of America, the slave states, it doesn’t mean that the flag is blatantly racist. The flag is only a symbol, a piece meant to represent that time.

INTRO: Some people consider the Confederate flag in the south important. But do they realize how it makes others feel in other places? The Confederate flag is for slavery. People use it for racism.

For the author, the Grand Union Flag is important because the flag’s use presents an alternative story of America’s founding. The author writes that the Patriots were actually fighting for a return to true British ideals, not for independence from them. He says that Patriots were fighting against the German king, not the nation of Great Britain. It is true that the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution contain similarities to the Magna Carta as the author states, but that does not mean that the Patriots were trying to create a new and better Britain as the author implies. It is clear from history that the Patriots wanted freedoms that the British empire was not giving. In order to gain those freedoms, the colonialists rebelled

“Thanks for the ride Dad,” I said as I grabbed my flag bag, my bright orange water jug and proceeded to slam the door shut. It wasn't too cold out, considering it was almost November. I was able to wear a t-shirt and leggings and still comfortable with the quickly dropping temperatures. I dropped my flag bag into its usually spot, between the white parking line and our junior captain’s bags. I was one of the first ones there, which was actually very unusual considering I was usually late. On the occasion of me being so early I decided to practice a part of the show that I was struggling with. I grabbed the flag specific to the part of the show that i needed to work on and I began throwing and dropping and throwing and catching and then throwing

The American flag consists of thirteen horizontal stripes, with seven red stripes alternating among six white. In the upper left corner there is a rectangular blue space that contains fifty white stars. The thirteen stripes symbolize the thirteen original colonies of the United states of America and the stars represent the fifty states of the Union. White is said to symbolize purity and innocence. Red symbolizes strength and courage, and blue symbolizes vigilance, perseverance and justice. The flag in simple words is a piece of cloth that has meaning. The flag stands for everything in our country’s past.
