When I recently watched <I>Gods and Generals</I> I was confused by the reference to the "Bonnie Blue Flag" and looked up some general information, but never came up with this. Thanks for the lesson. This encourages me to continue to educate myself about my region's history. And I may need to check out those lectures...Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807887046620150480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-1140144233326687192006-02-16T20:43:00.000-06:002006-02-16T20:43:00.000-06:00It is a shame that real history is so infrequently...It is a shame that real history is so infrequently taught today.

Thank you for doing in a blog, what might not have been done for me in a lifetime of reading. Your posts are so helpful that I can almost use them to justify reading blogs instead of something a little dustier and palpable... almostJNHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071705574141739175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123697.post-1140130584569164112006-02-16T16:56:00.000-06:002006-02-16T16:56:00.000-06:00It is highly upsetting that I managed to complete ...It is highly upsetting that I managed to complete 13 years of public school and then attain a bachelor's degree without even hearing mention of this occurence.
