The Confederate Flag: Racist or Not? Is the confederate flag racist or not? The Confederate flag is not an official battle flag. It was the battle flag of General Robert E. Lee’s unit.

Control of the sea indicated control of trade, which essentially meant control of the world. Mahan…

“Establishing and maintaining effective leadership and its inherent authority in small units is also one of the most difficult and under-appreciated leadership challenges for both the leader and the led”(Strong 1). However, it is often seen in groups like the Navy SEALS that leadership takes on a different role in which the amount of leadership depends on what the person has done instead of solely on what he wears on his collar.
