![]() I grew up in the South where I saw plenty of Confederate flags. ![]() A place where 150 years ago that flag would have been seen as a symbol of treason. A place where locals organized early against slavery and led the charge against it across the country. Here we are in a northern town, a place that gave her sons up to the Union Army and lost them on the battlefields of the Civil War. I ask this because I’m not so sure you do. Part of me wanted to ask obvious questions: You know you are in New Hampshire, right? And, you know New Hampshire was not a part of the Confederacy? The American flag was, incongruously (and in violation of the flag code), in the center. Two large Confederate flags were attached to the back of it, waving in the wind. I saw your truck parked in front of the Rite-Aid, right by the Dunkin Donuts.
