And WillK, lets see how tolerant the Northern Army was of the Jew.

I'm right, you're wrong and that's the end of the story.

The prejudices of the North don't change the exponentially greater prejudices of the South.

Yes, and it was often far worse in the north as it extended beyond one race. Jews & Irish were quite discriminated against as well in northern states and cities. The largest concentration of Jews in the US in 1860 was the South.

Since when was New York (which had the largest concentration of Jews in the US in 1860) in the south?


Proof? Do you want me to prove your troll ass wrong again?

You have never proved me wrong before.  You just continue to make yourself look idiotic.
Proof can be found in the US Census for 1860.

This was the action of one commander in one portion of the army. 
The Lincoln administration forced that commander to rescind the order.

Your own statement:

Your response when challenged:
...  Dale and Theodore Rosengarten, in "A Portion of the People: Three Hundred Years of Southern Jewish Life," observe that in 1800, Charleston had more Jews than any city in North America ...



You are aware that there is a difference between 1800 and 1860, right?

I am suprised that you would link to an article that declared that the "Southern cause" was "a cause that had at its core the perpetuation of slavery."   But if you want to present this as a good source of information, I whole heartedly agree.

The stars and bars mean to me, status quo or traditional, other than reform.  Reconstruction and the Whigs mean reformation.

Rather than castigate States for not realizing that the auto url detector didn't work quite right, you could have either pointed out the problem politely, or doing as I did and create the appropriate redirect on Wikipedia.  Instead, you chose to be a Jackass.  In any case I prefer Dumbasses to Jackasses.

Right about what?  I'm not the one who said the link didn't work.

Ignoring me is just a sign of your own insecurity, basically admission that you realize your idiocy and cant handle being called on it.

Both as an emblem of Southern heritage and distinctiveness, as well as a symbol of slavery and segregation.

I personally am not offended by it (I saw it all the time when I was attending summer camp down near Christ Church, Virginia -not far from Richmond), but I can easily see why blacks would have issues with it.

A little, and I definitely read it better than I speak it.  It's a nice language to learn.

I'm sure way back when I voted 'slavery, etc', and probably commented as such, but looking at it now, and remembering how I actually felt when I did see (rarely) in Missouri - I always felt 'oh, white trash here, and particularly dangerous ones... avoid'.  I remember the last time I saw the offensive thing was on a trailer up a dead end road in a floodplain.
