Popularity of Confederate flag license plates in TN

Last edited Fri Jul 20, 2018, 03:22 PM - Edit history (1)

at a 10-year high.

A representative from the Sons of Confederate Veterans...told the Tennessean that the spike in its plate’s popularity likely stems from what the groups believes to be attacks on Confederate history.

Takes a knee during the national anthem.

I think their traitorous forebears did A LOT more than that when they saw the US flag.

the Confederate Swastika. A neighbor flashes the Gadsen flag, another has a lawn jockey, Trump/MAGA crap all-over. I'm not in Dixie, on a clear day I can see Canada across the lake.

McConnell and Paul are both senators from Kentucky, which was neutral during the Civil War. However the U.S. Flag flew over the state's Capitol in Frankfurt.
