Maybe the real confederate flag was the friends we made along the way

Yeah you’re right it’s the flag of Dixieland

Ah so it’s not THE confederate flag but one could argue it’s A confederate flag?

Ok but that last flag is so ugly. Nothing is the same proportion as anything else and the red stripe looks like it wants to be the center of attention, but it clearly isn't because the battle flag is far more interesting. You would expect them to put them on the same side, but instead there's that massive white block that just looks like they ran out of time to draw a flag and submitted it unfinished.

It is a beautiful design too.

The certain captain increasingly arrest because foundation individually choke with a ubiquitous plantation. sulky, discreet relation

Who is here after the capitole?

hmm wonder why this popped into my recommendations on the ninth of January 2021

The big difference between the actual flag and this one is that the actual Confederate flag didn't get flown on Capitol Hill

I like how he doesn't even say people are misrepresenting the Confederate flag he just says close enough it's nice of him

Timing, youtube...

timing....

the stainless banner has undertones that are way to obvious for me to not point out

The ruddy dictionary superficially play because blood incidentally undress absent a delicate family. lavish, ready dentist

lol fail

Whats the difference between the sun and confederacy.......


The sun will rise again

SIDE NOTE: the Flag of the 26th Texas Calvary Regiment and a modified version (lighter blue background) Flag of Terry’s Texas Rangers (1861-1865). Providing some education for all of you moving to Texas, the Great State

The Confederacy: Not actually competent at things

My question is why is it that a white banner is an international sign of surrender?

Hey guys i found the confederate flag: 🏳️

😆

Jesus! No wonder the south lost.. they had more graphic designers than soldiers.

So the so called “confederate flag” was used against the confederate army meaning its not racist?

The confederacy fought the union, not other confederates.

Why would they want their trader friends back in with them to pay for the government right maybe .

Why would the union want a bunch of slave states back with them ?

I feel bad for grey who needed to research this.

ugly flags for an ugly movement

@Scottish Banana Clan Their profile picture genuinely looks nice though. And i doubt you have any idea what the person behind the account looks like. However we all know the confederate flags were ugly and so was the movement

Ugly profile picture for an ugly person

Even the losers didn't care to check which loser flag was right.

The south will rise aga........ahh n/m, wasn't it also the state flag of Mississippi?

i love all these comments hating on confederates.
its like some people didnt even know what the war was about.
but thats ok, its legal to have your own opinion
for now.
snowflakes are gonna love some confederate flag here real soon.

@RalOrtTal "Like most wars, the Civil War was a war fought over power and money". This is sort of true but that is because the money *came from slavery* which they feared lincoln would abolish "The South felt the only way it could change this unfair arrangement would be to legally secede and form its own country". I dont know about you but it doesnt sound legal to start a war to gain independance The last part is too long to quote but yes that is true, however irrelevant. Nobody claims lincoln fought the war to abolish slavery, he fought it to preserve the union. However, the south seceded because it wanted to keep the instutution of slavery alive. The southeren leaders even wrote this in their letters of secession. If the southeren states seceded because of taxes and political representation there is no reason for the word slavery to ever even come up in their letters.

@Thunderbird_102 Like most wars, the Civil War was a war fought over power and money. The South, a political minority from 1830 on, was fed up with being pushed around by the North. The unfair 40 percent tariff on cotton was paid by the five Deep South cotton states which financed 80 percent of the U.S. Treasury. These monies were used mostly to subsidize the industrial development of the North. The South felt the only way it could change this unfair arrangement would be to legally secede and form its own country. President Abraham Lincoln, a former Northern railroad lawyer, said no. The North could not survive without the cotton tariff and he would do all he could to preserve the Union. He even encouraged the passage of an amendment to the Constitution (the Corwin Amendment) that would make slavery irrevocable until the 20th century in order to entice the Confederate States to re-enter the Union. This was passed by Congress in March 1861, signed by Lincoln and sent to the states for ratification. Lincoln himself stated in a letter in August 1862 to New York editor Horace Greely, “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery.”

@RalOrtTal How was it about money?

@RalOrtTal It was about slavery

@Shahrukh Khan it was about money. Educate yourself.

Confederate symbol? I think yes

Mississippi should’ve watched this video

Republic of West Florida: YES! WE ARE FREE
Usa: Hippity hoppity this is my property

Tennessee battle flag. A flag used on the confederate side of the war. which technically makes it a confederate flag.

But not THE confederate national flag

Confederates: *changes flag to avoid friendly fire*

Also confederates: "is that general jackson? SHOOT HIM"

Finally someone explains it with a brain

1:27 by the way, Russian "forecastle flag", "geus", which is sometimes rised on the front of a ship (technically that's a Jack, but "St. Andrew's flag" naval ensigin is more popular and have stronger association with the navy) looks weirdly similar to Confederate naval Jack

Who's here after Mississippi changed their flag?

No commentary that the confederate flag was pretty much a racist badge of honor?

Heritage not hate

@Deer Mullet so the flag was only used for racism

@Deer Mullet You unpatriotic traitor !

Sorban Naw

US flag is better than the traitor flag

@Thunderbird_102 not completely

Also, the blood stained banner is o e majorly suck-ass design.

fun fact that isnt fun: the "stainless banner" has a white background to represent the supposed supremacy of white people...
don't let anyone tell you the confederates were anything other than butthurt slave owners.

Also majority of confederates weren't slave owners

It’s all racist

@idiots for idiots You coment on videos? Comment*

facts

It’s not... JUST RACISM. It’s literal slavery.

What does the stars symbolizes on Lee’s Battle flag?

Liberals: I’m going to pretend this video doesn’t exist

@Shadowkiller 420 Neither do people who fly this "not confederate flag"

@David Esparza LMFAOOOOOOO

@Leobastian _ Yeah I did The joke is that Liberals don’t know what the confederate flag looks like

The real Confederate flag is a white flag

Have you watched the vid?

Technically not the confederate flag.... okaayyyyy

Is ti just me or if you turn it up is there country music

I see a traitor’s flag

Know your stuff, confederates.

Test

No proud prussian person would use the flag of austria
*spit*

*spit*

*spit*

Why did Youtube remonetize this video?

It is the flag used to represent the Confederate States of America and as such is for all intents and purposes the Confederate flag.

E

Why are all the comments
“wOw Is ThIs ReLeVaNt oR wHaT 🤔😔🙄😳😣🙃💀”
what’s going on

@Ty1er 722 Nobody’s trying to secede, some people are starting to say that maybe we shouldn’t be putting the confederate battle flag on some state flags anymore.

@prismancy pfffffff what are they gonna do, secede? they cant even make it 10 blocks without lighting something on fire, let alone make their own country

All of the protest that've been going on since may or so

me just trying to find a confederate flag image

The 13 stripes of the flag of the United States also didn't originate with the 13 colonies, rather the 13 stripes already present on the flag of the East India Company.

What the Confederacy Wanted: Become independent, win a war, and perpetuate slavery.
What the Confederacy Did: Failed to agree to a flag

@Scott Grey This is more than a “lost cause” propaganda You’ll find out one day or another.

@Dman Bellic Maybe you didn't read this correctly Things the Confederacy tried to do: Become independent, *keep slavery* , win a war, *keep people enslaved* , and oh yeah, *keep slavery* Lee didn't run the country, and the people who did supported slavery. Neither did Lee try to do anything to stop it, in fact fighting for government trying to preserve it. States rights existed before the CSA, and the most they "contributed" was whining that *freeing slaves* was violating states rights, just like segregationists in the 60s. Getting offended that the CSA tried to preserve slavery is either a troll-take or the opposite of "doing research." Vomiting Lost Cause propaganda doesn't change that.

Also If you did way more background research you’d know this country is technically founded upon confederate values to this day. Like states rights.

Actually the north had 5 slave states It was only because of Lincoln they were abolished. I understand you were attempting to meme but it’s odd nobody ever listens to the military generals like Lee. They were against slavery. Lee was Pro-Abolitionist and supported the idea. At the end of the day, like with all wars it was the old and bitter that tricked the young and dumb into killing each other.

1.4K dislikes just because this video is about confederate flags?! It's informational people!!
No one is supporting anything.

You don't know why people disliked it. It's not a disproportionate number of dislikes. You would probably see a similar number on his other videos.

St. Andrews Cross to be precise. Also present in the Union Jack.

Somalia: Is my flag a joke to you?

1:13 those are zuaves wearing the fez's right?

How can you make a video about the Virginian Battle Flag...and not mention how it was Virginian and mostly seen within....Virginia....only....

It really doesn't matter, considering it's still a prominent symbol of the confederacy.

Bruh imagine being so fucking incompetent that you can't take the enemy's capital every though you border it.

@Snek Snekier A bullet won’t stop the bull moose.

Imagine being so fucking manly you manage t be a athlete, doctor, cowboy, hunter, mayor and a president while also taking a bullet in the middle of a speech and continuing AND turning America into a world power

Big deal it’s the battle flag of Northern Virginia not the confederacy but it’s still used as a symbol of the Confederacy.

I love how half the comments are just timeless comments such as “haha confederate battle flag is confederate” and “haha military flag that belonged to losing side” like Jesus he’s just explaining that it’s not actually “the” confederate flag come down, like you got something to prove out here that everybody doesn’t already know

Honestly the German man from Alabama did not have a fashion sense

Call it the Flag of Treason and be done with it.

Wow.

hahaha fuck the confederacy

@Vibing Diego We got tons of kids who thinks communism is funny

@Dawid Messi ok, now you're my slave

@Dawid Messi yessir we got a 10 yr old edge lord that thinks saying slavery is good is funny

And plus what have the confederates done? They stabbed america in the back, they were traitors.

@Dawid Messi they aren't obligated to, most were brought here against their will. And some have done amazing things for America. Do you just hate blacks or all races?

I love the confederate flag designs.

Some of them are pretty cool

I mean, the last looks kinda cool but they represent something extremly wrong

They are ugly as hell

Ironic how the went from “Stainless Banner” to “Blood-stained banner”, not so stainless eh?

2:15 Sorry, but "close enough" doesn't cut it.

doesn't cut it for what lol?

The south will rise again..yeee haww

Gabriel-h-cruz try again ur be down 2-0

It is

I'm getting ads on this supposedly demonetized video 🤨

Ah yes
"I'm a true patriot!" *flies a traitor flag*

@DaRebel well, we can't forget about slavery, but ight

@DaRebelYes, i know you love slavery. No confederate hates it.

@DaRebel Ah yes, anti-slavery is communist. How evil!

@DaRebel You americans really are just stuck in this Cold War mindset. Any other opinion is "muh communism!" ,and try to not eat up Anti-Communist propaganda from the Cold War.

@DaRebel says the confederate who cant deal with me being a communist

I was having an argument with someone who claimed that the flag with a blue x and stars was a rebal flag and was not fully adopted wy the confederacy

remove the battle flag and that is the confederate flag.

Remove the color on any flag then u got the confederate flag,blank as ever.

Can somebody send me the link to this video so I can copy and paste

Fun fact: Pokemon go has been around for longer than the confederacy lasted

@Blue Dragon Gaming Pokemon go had a deep impact on society you are right

Bruh sound effect #2

I will never cease to be amazed by the youtube community... The confederacy and Pokemon Go in one sentence...

Hey, fellas, stop fighting. All of this is not important. What is important is that Pokemon Go has had a somewhat positive impact on the world, whereas the Confederacy - a largely negative one. Therefore Pokemon Go is better than the Confederacy.

@Blue Dragon Gaming I think pokémon go has had a bigger impact

Man-The Nazi flag and the Confederate flag are EVIL!
Next day...MAN-Burns an American flag in protest.

The wrong side won the Civil War. The wrong side also won WWII.

@tester123532456 He turned Germany's economy around by using slave labour. Also I'm sure the fact that the rest of the world dealt with the great depression helped. They blacklisted scientists like einstein (and fermi in italy) so I'm not sure what you mean by "encouraging intelligence." There was only less crime and degeneracy because the punishments were inhumane and the Gestapo and ss were around violating people's rights. Don't take your rights for granted. Don't take your liberty for granted. Our ancestors gave their lives for freedom. It was a society with no freedom of speech or of the press. Workers lived in serfdom under a tyrannical regime willing to pit friend against friend and commit genocide. Also if the germans were so great, how did they lose?

@Sam Mckeen less diversity = more harmonious society with minimal crime, he turned Germany's economy around 180 degrees, intelligence and physical fitness was highly encouraged, less degeneracy and hedonism, etc etc...

@tester123532456 I don't know what you mean by running defence. Why would it be better if nazi germany won?

@Sam Mckeen lol, why lie? Are you running defence for them?

@tester123532456 The communists thought capitalism was a jewish conspiracy. How could they think that and be Jewish at the same time?

A lot of people get their panties in a wad over this flag but forget the fact that a lot of people on both sides of the Civil War died, and a lot of black folk eventually were set free from slavery. It doesn't matter who won or who lost if your end goal of that equation is your freedom today regardless of your skin color. None of you reading this comment right now were ever a slave in that era, nor ever owned one. Welcome to the present day. Your destiny is in your own hands.

@Marco Sheesh to the past only matter what we can learn about it, it's pointless argue about if somenthing we can't change, thanks to the union, in the USA its no more esclaves, besides, if it wasn't for the war, probably esclavery would end a lot later

What do you mean it doesn't matter who won? If the south won slavery wouldn't have ended the way it did.

Dilligaf

Imagine calling the naval jack flag racist when it was used to represent southern boats lol

@Mr. Hat the naval jack flag wasnt brought up on paper until 1882 so nice lie bud

@Austin Ware 1864, I do think so

@Mr. Hat in 1898 I don’t think so bud

Southern boats that fought to preserve slavery.

Traitor

Video basically is saying um ummm this was not the confederate flag it was the confederate battle flag!

For people who actually believe that it is the Confederate flag, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale cheap!! Get it while it lasts, they're going to sell quick!!

Doesn't matter whether it's the official flag or not. It still represents the racist bullshit the confederacy stands for

so racists are uneducated idiots and so are progressives?

Usually, yes Progressives just pay way more to be stupid than people raised in racism

Brim

If you're gonna rebel, use a flag that's not similar to your enemys. It gives you good luck.

@Dman Bellic Sure the south had amazing military leaders but the north had more population and industry, the only way I see the south winning is if the Europeans intervened and even then the north could just claim that the war is to end slavery and the Europeans would be forced to back down by thein own citizens.

@Dman Bellic "proof" History books -- Any history book of U. S. History tells of the South's defeat under that flag. The flag is the flag of a loser . I

@J BEST Give valid proof city-boy

Oh they would have got their ass kicked under any flag

And also have Texas be not useless

So I did it too :D just using woodprix woodworking plans :)

Well, the Stars and Bars and the The Cross were the ones you saw most often and still do today so am walking away from this video being able to identify the the two MAIN flags that the confederacy used. So now whenever I see those two flags I know it’s the Confederates but I will also keep the other flags in mind just in case.

Blue Canton with ring of stars over red and white stripes: yeah that'll work

Yes, your channel shared history and needs to be D E M O N E T I Z E D

It isn't

The Confederate Flag Isn’t Any Of These It Has A White Background With A Yellow Circle And A Dollar Sign In The Middle!

you had me in the first part ngl

Far to few know this truth. Are our teachers to blame or opportunistic politicians and the news media? I don’t know,

It would be a pretty big waste of time for a teacher spending time going over all of the confederate flags from stars and bars to the blood-stained banner and explaining how the confederate flag wasn’t the actual flag despite the fact that the citizens of the confederacy used the battle flag anyway when you could just say that the confederate battle flag was the confederate flag. The military used it, the people used it, only the government didn’t. Nobody really needs to know this. It doesn’t change anything about the debate over flying the “Confederate Flag”, it’s just a bit of trivia because you don’t need to know that it’s technically unofficial despite the fact that everyone used it. If you ask the average person who flies the confederate flag what flag it is, they’ll probably either say the “Rebel Flag” or the “Confederate Flag”.

VAMobMember nah it’s just the unofficial flag.
