West Virginia was one of those border states you think were all solid
union. If you are talking about Kentucky, right across the river from
Cincinnati, that is virtually Ohio.

I recall a couple of traitorous Confederate flag episodes in SW Missouri
when I was in college, either in Joplin or Springfield, and a decade or
so later there were incidents involving that flag of disgrace in
Virginia. That's what, five decades or more ago?

There were plenty of confederate flags in southern Maryland in the
60s, 70 and 80s, including Calvert county. In the late 50s there was
even a network show glamorizing Major Mosby (The Gray Ghost)
They sold all sorts of "merch" around that , hats, flags, toy guns.

I think you are just in denial and suddenly coming up with outrage
about something that has been around for 150 years.

Did I say or imply West Virginia was a "solid union state"? No, I did not.

You said Maryland was and they were exactly the same status.
Maybe you forgot

Oh...I was talking about traitorous Confederate flag episodes, not the
existence of such flags.

You seem to think everyone who has one is a terrorist racist.

Again, you are not reading for content. Lack of liberal arts studies, I
suppose.

Meaningless insult

Insult to Liberal Arts students. Some can reason.
