And the first flag the KKK used to hang poor innocent blacks was the Stars and Stripes. The flag used to commit murder, steal land, break treaties and commit genocide against Native American men, women and children was the Stars and Stripes. The yankee officers that after the war committed these horrendous acts were Sherman, Sheridan (the only good Indian is a dead Indian), Custer, Crook and others. The president of the United States that gave his blessings and orders for these atrocities was guess who......Ulysses Simpson Grant, the drunkard!
