Opinion
The battle flag of
Confederacy – once a symbol of regional pride –
has too many bad meanings for too many
By DAVID
EPPS
Pastor
I have always
loved the Confederate flag. Oh, I know there are many
flags that were unfurled by the Southern Confederacy,
but the only flag that I have known intimately has
been the so-called “battle flag,” the
“stars and bars,” the “Southern
cross.”
