Today is Lee Jackson day and it was up until recently celebrated in many Southern States in celebration of two great Southern heroes. March 14, 1863 Harpers Weekly sketches.
Lexington, VA has caved to the woke mob. Lexington has distanced itself from their heritage and VMI removed the Stonewall Jackson monument. Keep em Flying! Flag the town! VMI Cadets and Lee and Jackson have been dishonored by woke politicians. #boycottLexington
Confederate flags never flew over a slave ship.

My ancestor Noah Crews was with Lawton’s Brigade 26th GA at Sharpsburg/aka Antietam. Quite possibly in the Cornfield. May we always remember this day Sept. 17, 1862. The bloodiest single day in American history. 160th Anniversary
At 10 P. M. of the 16th, Lawton's Brigade advanced from its position west of the Dunkard Church and relieved Wofford's Brigade of Hood's Division in the fields south of the Cornfield and east of the Hagerstown Pike. Skirmishers were thrown forward into the south edge of the Cornfield. In this position the Brigade was attacked at about 5:30 A. M. on the 17th by Seymour's Brigade of Meade's Division on the right and, at 6 A. M., by three Brigades of Doubleday's Division on the left. After losing its commander and more than one-half its members, it was relieved by Wofford's Brigade of Hood's Division and withdrawn to the woods southwest of the Dunkard Church and was not again engaged.

This is the Confederate First National Flag and is considered the original National Confederate Flag from 1861-1863. The Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is most commonly mistaken as the “confederate flag.”
Credit to the Mariners Museum in Norfolk, VA. This flag would have flown aboard the CSS Virginia. It flew everywhere and in as many places as the battle flag. The First National was coined the “Stars and Bars”
