The second order, issued January 1, 1863, named the specific states where it applied.

Slaves were freed well after the war started ....

There is no way to win an argument with a person convinced they are right about hating the Confederate flag. Best thing to do is just take advantage of your right to fly one and ignore them.


No sense in stirring them up into all that wasted self-rightousness.
