The article says this was the first time the confederate flag was flown in the Capital. However in 2015 during a debate about the use of the flag, an (incorrect) version of it was on display the House. While I guess we could get in semantics about it not being the real one, I think it warrants discussion about the accuracy of the claim. House Dems display incorrect Confederate flag | The Hill Anyway thoughts? 3Kingdoms ( talk) 18:02, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Okay from the CNN article: “While versions of the Confederate flag have appeared in legitimate exhibits in the country’s legislative headquarters, the closest any rebel carrying a Confederate flag ever came to the Capitol was about 6 miles, during the Battle of Fort Stevens on July 11 and 12, 1864.” Maybe it should be revised to being the first unlawful display of the flag in the capital? Thoughts?
