Reply To: Fly the flag of the Confederate States of America?

Yes, I can think of a situation where it would be appropriate to fly the CSA flag. Louisiana has a long and unique history of flags. Louisiana was a territory controlled by Spain, France, and England, and it changed hands back and forth several times. It was part of the West Florida Republic. It was a Confederate State and a United State before and after that. And for a couple months back in 1861 Louisiana flew the flag of an independent nation.

Today the Louisiana State Archives flies all the flags that have flown over Louisiana. The Archives is an agency of the office of the Secretary of State, so a state government office. I think it’s appropriate to fly the CSA flag along with all the others.
