I am convinced that the dumbing down of most Americans is almost complete when it comes to our history!
The real Stars and Bars: 
The flag that the media keeps calling the Stars and Bars is the Confederate Naval Jack.
More history:The historical reasons for the War of Northern Aggression have more to do with severe tariffs and duties the North placed on Southern goods than with slavery.
The Yankee border states had slaves too.
In fact, the Emancipation Proclamation was just a war ploy on Lincoln’s part, “freeing†only the slaves in the confederacy, and trying to create a fifth column behind enemy lines.
The border state slaves remained enslaved until the end of the war.
Lincoln was quoted as saying he wanted to send all the blacks back to Africa.
