    And she didn’t even get that part right.

    From the article:

    The state did not adopt the flag—…—until 1894

      Yup yup.The Rebel Flag is a modern invention of racists, it was never officially flown in battle or otherwise. The one it was based on was square, making it a different flag, and only flew over one company in the Confederacy. Most Confederate soldiers wouldn’t have even recognized it. Didn’t have to, there were many Confederate flags but only one union flag. They only needed to recognize the one.
