What is a flagger? This is not a term I am familiar with.

I used the word flagger. I hope it is not offensive! It relates to groups of people who support the Confederate flag. They use word Heritage to describe themselves. I follow Brooks Simpson's blog .. one of his subject areas involves challenges to historical errors some of these groups insist on keeping alive. He is a fearless, crusty, intelligent, wonderful writer. A Grant expert. And a very nice man.

Rick, you said you were unreconstructed. This raises a lot of questions in my mind but they are off topic for this thread and dont really fit in this forum. I posted my comment on impulse. I'd like to further my education on this but, as I say, not sure this is the place.

My apologies to John and to you, Roseio, as I thought that it was a question from John, and no offense taken.

Unreconstructed, at least to me in these days, means not to be subject to political correctness or going with the crowd, but to stand for your beliefs, in an appropriate way, with courtesy.

John asked earlier if I thought that admitting one's errors was a sign of courage; I do believe that. It is one of the defining qualities of manhood to admit when you are wrong and to learn from it. Here is a quote from a man I truly admire and respect, speaking of manhood and Christian manhood in particular:

"Circumstances do not dictate your character; they reveal it; and become the opportunity to refine and grow it."

Thanks, Herb.

Bill is a master of the written word. He is also a good and generous friend.
