Had to take this picture as I was going by. I would like to inform as well that the Rebel flag did not represent slavery. The south was much more refined and educated than their foes in the North (Oklahoma was neither North or South as it was Indian Nation but a few battles were fought on OK soil..one near me). Slavery was brought to the Americas by privateers to Jamestown in the early sixteen hundreds. Probably before that. North had the slaves as much of the south was unsettled and unpopulated.
The Rebel flag represents a time and place in the US, not the actions of the entire nation. The war was not fought to free the slaves. The flag is a point of pride for all the other things that was good in the south. The north forgets the sins they also committed but to the victors are give the right to write history....right or wrong.

If we want to get technical Indians routinely took battle captives as slaves. That predates the pail face.
