What sucks is that 6 flags wasn't even flying the confederate battle flag that everyone is fighting. They flew the confederate states of America original flag that to my knoledge no one saw as a symbol of hate or racism. Many of the news articles are just saying they removed the confederate flag.

The whole point of the "six" flags were to refer to the countries that at one time had sovereignty over Texas. Could an argument be made that the Confederacy never had sovereignty over Texas? If the answer is yes, why was the flag ever there in the first place and why wasn't the original theme park called five flags over Texas?
This thread needs more cowbell ...

Texas joined the confederate states of America in 1861 I think. So I think that is why the flag was part of the 6 flags.

So, if the reason for the "theme" park was to recognize 6 countries, why didn't the "theme" park make that argument instead of caving to revisionists that would probably never go to the "theme" park and almost certainly have no luck convincing others to not go?

I am so sick of uneducated racists (all races of mankind) using the Confederate flag and statutes as a symbol of protest. The Civil War was not about slavery, it was about state's rights. In fact, if one researches, a remarkable point arises. The North had far more slaves than the South at the time of the War and It wasn't attributed to the overall size difference between factions. The emancipation proclamation freed the slaves on both sides. Outstanding. Now, has someone researched the congressional debates that occurred during the emancipation process?Nope. Noteworthy to say it was the North and its congressional leaders of the day that made the process almost unbearable for Lincoln. Glad he preserved. Get off the Confederate statue and flag deal. Unemployed, uneducated, empty folk just rioting. That's all. Quit being thugs and start doing something to add to society instead of ripping off hard working men and women. Get off my shoulders. Wake up you bleeding heart liberals and defend our rights. Your actions (or inaction) and agreement with the thug contingent take away our liberties bought with our loved ones blood.

They never flew the correct flag anyway, even when no one was complaining.
Someone out on a FM road near me flies a Third National Flag prominently where everyone passing can easily see it. Always makes me wonder if they're sitting and watching out their window waiting for someone to try to steal it.
