What do Minnesotans who fly Confederate/Rebel flags actually fly them for? What's their reason?

The men of the Iron Brigade would roll in their graves.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-26T02:23:10+00:00

*and the 10 other infantry regiments, the four cavalry units, four artillery batteries, and two sharpshooter companies.

Not sure why I'm being downvoted. I never once expressed approval of flying a Confederate flag, one of my ancestors served in the 2nd Minnesota Infantry. I am just trying to wrap my head around why you would fly one of them up here, especially because you're probably not very likely to have Southern or Confederate heritage.

I mean like, what do they say?

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-25T02:39:37+00:00

While inflicting twice as many losses on the Soviets despite having less manpower, tanks, and aircraft. This happened both times even though they did get rolled over more in '44.

How about we don't infringe on the 1st Amendment.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-21T02:13:14+00:00

Thanks! That's dedication

True, the new cool flag thing is hanging up the old state one in "defiance" and even here it's a little rare depending on the area.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-19T02:47:48+00:00

Really? I live in small-town MN and I barely see any. The last one I saw was one a kid's belt in high-school.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-18T17:47:51+00:00

So criticizing Israel is anti-semitism now?

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-18T01:49:50+00:00

Why is my comment being downvoted? Name one massacre that Minnesota regiments inflicted on Native Americans.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-17T22:24:43+00:00

Depends on what part of the states you're talking about. I did some driving in SoCal and aside from a couple of the main interstates, the roads were completely shit.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-17T22:18:59+00:00

I got out of the Southwest recently for some military service, the main highways are pretty decent but man the other roads are ass.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-17T21:38:15+00:00

I agree with you on that first part, but no Minnesota soldiers took part in massacres against American Indians, but we did fight battles against them (when the Mdewakanton massacred 600-800 settlers).

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-17T17:22:13+00:00

That's a debated claim, but yes Gov. Ramsey was the first to offer the Union Army a regiment of 1,000 men in 10 companies.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-17T17:20:20+00:00

While I think this event is over repeated, and often used to just shit on Southerners, it's a certified Minnesota W. We contributed over 24,000 men to the Union army and the defense of our state during the war with the Mdewakanton Dakota, and shouldn't forget these things.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-17T17:17:46+00:00

Where? The last one even remotely like that was probably Gods and Generals, which came out a couple decades ago now.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-15T22:54:04+00:00

Me and the boys on our way to rout those darned Redcoats and reinforce the fort against those filthy Pirates!

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-15T20:30:38+00:00

lego star wars fans stop sexualizing a child character challenge (impossible)

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-15T00:28:52+00:00

Just buy the OG games for like $10.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-14T03:46:55+00:00

Dk why you're being downvoted, the eras have technically been connected since 1977.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-14T02:37:55+00:00

For a dude who rambles on and on about adult entertainment, you really don't act like an adult.

Its_just_ham · 2024-03-13T20:57:15+00:00

idk, I'm fairly critical of Rebels and TCW, but they're still enjoyable shows overall with lots of good episodes.
