]]>Always good news when the country is brought closer together by the return of captured Civil War flags; most especially during this time of national strife and divisiveness.
I would like to see somebody in authority from Rhode Island reply to this extraordinary gesture of reconciliation immediately and pledge to return captured North Carolina Confederate banners in Rhode Island’s possession back to their home state.
Bravo, North Carolina! Rhode Island… step up!
Best,
Daniel
>The Museum of History hopes the State of Rhode Island will return a North Carolina flag captured by Rhode Island soldiers at New Bern on March 14, 1862. “We would like this Confederate flag, along with ones held by other states, to eventually be returned to North Carolina,” says Tom Belton, curator of military history.
