Musing of the Moment: The Confederate History of the Gadsden Flag

Laurie Brodie wrote an interesting article in the The Washington Post that reveals the crooked history of the Gadsden flag.

Here's a link to the gifted article: "The Disgraced Confederate History of the 'Don't Tread on Me' Flag"

I dislike the flag because of its association with anti-government nutjobs and the followers of Moscow Don. 

However, I didn't know the history of its use in the Civil War. It makes sense though because Gadsden was from South Carolina.
