But the Union Jack is the flag of the country in which he was born...not the flag of a long- defunct country that fought against the country in which he was born...right?

Also, can we just state here and now that segregation, denial of voting rights, and intimidation did not happen hundreds of years ago. It happened in the second half of the 20th century. It's easy to get off on tangents here, guys and girls. Let's keep the discussion civil (no pun intended) and on point.

Couple of questions for those who fly the flag to "honor ancestors, right or wrong": if your grandfather were - say - a Nazi soldier or a KGB agent, or even one of the officers charged with minding the Japanese interment camps, would you still celebrate their actions, right or wrong, because they stood up for what they believed in, or is it distinctly related to the Civil War? Not trying to pick a fight...just think about it. I'm interested in whether it's the ancestory, the geography,
or the history that affects your stance more.
