Professor to burn
flag at east orange county cemetery Monday 05/25/2015
Writing a post like
this 'in Florida' especially central Florida and many other states is real
risky. How be it, extremely important and way past time!

states is holding a Confederate Flag burial Ceremony.

"Monday is a
day to honor the veterans that fell for this country in all wars
I find political
stunts out of place for day of remembrance."
In this question,
one should note that,
"like the
English Army in the Revolutionary War."
"The
Confederate Army did not fall in the war for this country?"
"They fell as
the enemy fighting against this country?"

The Confederate Flag
burial, a belated Burn in Florida.
A Florida college
professor’s plan to burn a Confederate flag on Memorial Day is stirring up
controversy by those who say it should instead be a time to remember those who
have died while defending America’s freedom.
Julian Chambliss,
chairman of the Department of History and Africa and African-American Studies
program at Rollins College, told the Orlando Sentinel that he decided to host
the event because the days of slavery in America are dead.
“That part of our
history needs to be buried,” Chambliss said.
The ceremony will be
just one of several to take place across the nation Monday.
The First Official
Flag of the Confederacy. Although less well known than the "Confederate
Battle Flags", the Stars and Bars was used as the official flag of the
Confederacy from March 1861 to May of 1863. The pattern and colors of this flag
did not distinguish it sharply form the Stars and Stripes
of the Union.
Consequently, considerable confusion was
caused on the battlefield.
The seven stars
represent the original Confederate States; South Carolina (December 20, 1860),
Mississippi(January 9, 1861), Florida (January 10,1861), Alabama (January 11,
1861), Georgia (January 19, 1861), Louisiana (January 26, 1861), and Texas
(February 1, 1861).
Confederate Navy
Jack: Used as a navy jack at sea from 1863 onward. This flag has become the
generally recognized symbol of the South.
Note: It is
necessary to disclaim any connection of these flags to neo-Nazis, red-necks,
skin-heads and the like. These groups have adopted this flag and desecrated it
by their acts. They have no right to use this flag - it is a flag of honor,
designed by the confederacy as a banner representing state's rights and still
revered by the South. In fact, under attack, it still flies over the South
Carolina capitol building. The South denies any relation to these hate groups
and denies them the right to use the flags of the confederacy for any purpose.
The crimes committed by these groups under the stolen banner of the candidacy
only exacerbate the lies which link the secession to slavery interests when,
from a Southerner's view, the cause was state's rights.
