    The second Confederate National flag was called the “Stainless Banner”. The new design was created because the “Stars and Bars” was too similar to the United States flag and the militia could not tell the difference between the Confederate and Union flags from a distance during battles.

But in the late months of the Civil War, in 1865, Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, signed a bill to change the flag again.…

Sue for Google as "the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership").

    Jason Miller once said "The president-elect is a very strong supporter of the First Amendment, but there's a big difference between that and burning the American flag." The supreme court has ruled that it is legal to set flame to the American flag in two different instances. Congress has tried to change this but has been unsuccessful multiple times.
