American Heritage Talking
Is flying a Confederate flag any different from burning the American flag?
Let's go back to the Civil War. Would flying the Confederate flag be akin to burning the American Flag now?
For that matter, was the American Flag burned by Confederates?
I'm not asking about heritage today. I'm strictly talking about the past.
Flag use and flag desecration did not widely occur until after the civil war. With the war's outbreak, scattered incidents of deliberate physical damage to the flag were reported from the South, including apparently the first protest flag burning in American history, at Liberty, Mississippi, on May 10, 1861. In 1862, during the Union army's occupation of New Orleans in the American Civil War, the military governor, Benjamin Franklin Butler, sentenced William B. Mumford to death for removing an American flag. Today, defacing a flag is an act of protected speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, as established in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and reaffirmed in U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990).
Side Note:
Only after the outbreak of the Civil War in April 1861, symbolically begun by Confederate troops firing on flag-bedecked Fort Sumter, South Carolina, transformed the Stars and Stripes into a true national icon (in the North).
The Confederate States of America used several flags during its existence from 1861 to 1865. Each had its own meaning and purpose. There was always disagreement over the nature of its symbolism. Each unit had its own battle jacks, banners and state flag. To this day several southern states still use aspects of the jack in their flags.
Mississippi is a good example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Mississippi
It is generally believed that the Confederate flag was a response to confusion on the battle field. Most people did not wish to abandoned the traditional flag. A compromise was reached where the red white and blue colors were retained but the design "using bars and stars" changed to the confederate flag we see today.
