IMO, the flag position re-inforces the hate rhetoric of the Left, but again, its just my opinion. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Deep Six the Deep State!'']]</sup> 15:23, 14 February 2019 (EST)

:How? We shouldn't cave to the Left's revisionist history by depicting the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Symbol as a "racist" or "pro-slavery" symbol. Lee personally opposed slavery and promoted racial reconciliation after the war (source: ''The Religious Life of Robert E. Lee'', by Cox and Noll). Also, according to Stonewall Jackson's Wikipedia page, Jackson also opposed slavery. That flag symbolizes states' rights -- and Virginia (along with TN, AK, and NC) refused to join the CSA before Lincoln requested 75,000 soldiers to force the South back into the Union (VA, TN, AK, and NC believed the CSA could legally secede under the Constitution).
:The Left promotes historical narratives that are convenient to its political goals despite being factually incorrect or simplistic. Let's not cave to them. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:59, 14 February 2019 (EST)
