Long overdue. Happy Confederate History Month, losers! Real Virginians live up to their oaths. #scalawag
Display of the “Flags of the Confederate States of America.” Stars and bars flag, horizontal bars of red-white-red with a blue ensign with a ring of 13 stars (1860-1863), Stainless banner of white with an ensign of the CS battle flag, a St. Andrew’s Cross of white-bordered blue with 13 stars on a red background (1863-1865), the Blood Dipped Banner, near identical to the Stainless Banner but with a vertical red band at the end (Early 1856), and the all white flag of surrender (1865-present).
In honor of #AppomattoxDay here's a bit of #history, the four official flags of the Confederacy. Enjoy!

Union troops struggle to pull a cannon through the mud after the Battle of Fredericksburg (painting).
Remember their struggle and sacrifice so that others would be free and the Union would stand.
Honor their sacrifice by fighting (peacefully) to retake this country and restore freedom to all.

Very unfair to compare William Mahone to Bovino. Mahone, despite his support for the CSA, actually became a Readjuster Scalawag after the war and supported equal rights. Ironically Mahone supported promoting Freedmen rather than deny their promotion. #scalawag

Hell yeah. I know plenty of folks in trailers that ain't trash, but plenty in mansions who are. #scalawag
Baxter the self-proclaimed Mad Scientist from Hazbin Hotel, an anglerfish-looking little guy in a black lab coat and yellow glasses, looks at us, a cocky look on his face.
#Promosky time!
I'm a #scalawag in the Southern Civil Rights Supporter way, and also a bit of the other type (yarr!🏴☠️). Follow me for:

@korgx3.bsky.social please remind me in a week to do John Laurens for #ScalawagSaturday. OG #scalawag!
My idea of 'white power' is risking your white privilege and comfort to fight for your non-white brothers and sisters. #scalawag
Thomas was a true southern patriot and this is a badass statement for all times, "I'm going south...at the head of my troops." #scalawag
The one Prager U. video worth watching. Also, COL Seidule's book, Robert E. Lee and Me, is a must-read for those who want to learn about the nefarious way in which Lost Cause mythology shaped and continues to shape Southern & US politics. Get it before they ban it. #scalawag #uscivilwar #lostcause
#Scalawag is a fun word and needs to be used more often.
Sure. Learn from Prager U.
So long as the Prager U video is the one from BGEN Seidule where he eviscerates the Lost Cause myth. 😜 #scalawag

The Union forever, hurrah boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitor and up with the star,
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

My fellow Virginians: in a state full of Bobby Lees, be a George Henry Thomas. The Rock of Chickamauga!

We have a word for #TomCotton in the South, @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social ~ #hypocrite.
Go back further, to #Reconstruction after the #CivilWar, and he would be called a #scalawag. He’s a #StolenValor #BlueFalcon #collaborator. A #FifthColumn #usefulidiot. A #traitor to the #military uniform he wore.
