That is a generalization that I do not agree with. There all uneducated? Really? So the 100's of thousands of Americans who fought and died for the South in the civil war were just a bunch of dumb folks? Again I disagree. There was more than one reason for the civil war. Slavery was the one the media hype at the time drove to recruit more solders from the North to fight. It was a reason and for many the primary reason, but for just as many it was states rights. Heresy to say it but it is true.

Lets just suppose that someone here grew up in the South and had a great great someone who fought and died in that horrible war. Maybe they were flying the flag on that person birthday or the day they died. Some very valid reason. And you claim they must be uneducated. Very sad way to think.

And what "state's right"...were they wanting? :oops:

I am lost here. What is the Political Flag referenced in the original post? If not a USA flag, just get over it, go back to bed and rest.

Just because there is a flagpole does not mean that an American flag needs to be flown from it. Yes, if an American flag is present, it is to be above others.

We are living in a time that should force us to think about who we really are — as individuals — to acknowledge our own truth, our personal code, what’s in there, deep down, telling us who we really are.

But it is also a time that often shows us who others really are.

So here we all are, with a lot to think about. - - - “Oh say can you see . . .”

Go to dos.myflorida.com this is the Florida State Department with flag protocol and requirements. They also have a contact procedure via email or phone number. You should find out who to contact.

The North and the South were very divided in the late 1850's, very much like our political parties are today. Not really rational but still a fact.

The North was very industrial and the South was very much a farming area of the country so each wanted very different things from the Federal government.

States rights were only one of many reasons that divided the North and South. Slavery was one of those and a major one, but we seem to forget the others. Expansion was a big one (Texas) wanted to become an independent country as early as 1835 and again in 1857. Bleeding Kansas which was a very violent conflict about the legality of slavery and at that time in Kansas slavery was not legal. Abraham Lincoln was a president who had very divided support over most of the country. He won the 1860 presidential election without being on the ballot in ten Southern states. The right of secession. Some states wanted to leave because of slavery and some because they wanted to become a country of their own not beholding to the government. Seven states left to become independent and after some time 4 more states joined them.

I have never suggested slavery was not one of the main reasons for that war, but we just can't forget all the reasons and there were many. The country was very very divided back then very much like we are today. And everyone knows that today there are many many reasons why we are divided today. It was not then nor is it now a one issue reason.

I know of someone who did this at another community located nearby. I understand that there was no conflicts! At last check, this was still going on! So there!

There you go another real answer. Thank You! :bigbow:

Oddly enough, those particular deed restrictions don't exist in the Historic section and I have yet to see a lawn with more than a few of any of the above "offending" items, let alone 150 of them.
