I think I'd like to get a new rebel flag to put on my front porch. What do you think?

Gadsden

Continental

Bennington

Betsy Ross

Confederate

Rebel Wolf

i chose gadsden. how can you get better than the original?

[MOONDOGGY]

I think 'the south' is reaching a bit far north!!

But, I'd fly the Gadsden as well. We're due for a revolution.

I like the Gadsen, but only if it were black and dark grey like the Metallica album.

It's freaking hilarious when people north of the Mason-Dixon line fly rebel flags and preach about the South rising again. "South" does not mean South-Central PA.

I've always been a fan of the Gadsden. It's simple and to the point without getting obnoxious.

I'd personally steer clear of the Confederate flag. My girlfriend is from the South, and she says that in many circles, the Confederate flag does still represent racism rather than just "being a rebel." Granted, she wore a shirt with the flag to the gig on Saturday night, so go figure. It doesn't seem to have that much of a connotation in the North.

Gadsden wins. Unfortunately, it won't be here tomorrow, but I have some stale teabags. The tea parties are mostly using the later red & white striped revolutionary navy jack.

I ordered one from these people on eBay. $7 for 2'x3' or $10 for 3'x5', includes shipping. Just about any flag you want:

Actually, many people from the north went south and vice versa to join the respective armies depending on their beliefs about states' rights vs. the central government. The Civil War was started over states' rights (sound familiar?), not slavery as many would have us believe.

The slavery issue didn't come to the forefront until 1862-63--more than two years into the war. Lincoln used the threat of emancipation as a tool to try to persuade the Confederacy to cease hostilities and rejoin the Union. Had the Confederacy agreed to halt the war and rejoin the Union before the Emancipation Proclamation, slavery would have continued in the south until who knows when.
