Over the years, the ranks thinned but American pride in the symbol was buoyed when headlines announced “Death Leaves Only Four Living Civil War Veterans” when Confederate Veteran Timothy Evans Riddle died in Texas in 1943 at age 108.
The resurgence of the use of the Battle flag was ignited by another war involving the spilling American blood, the Korean Conflict. The US Military operated under the command of the United Nations Command beginning in 1951 and concluding in 1953, which authorized the use of the UN flag. The substitute for Americans...the Confederate Battle Flag. Those who knew knew. One newspaper in 1951 proclaimed that “Rebel Flags are Everywhere” in Korea[ii]. It was code for “American.” Soldiers would write home asking for…
