[000:00:00;00] the, it's pretty flag that's about the extent of it. it does not replace what we have. i understand, you know, the 20 stars is the significance and what the meaning of that supposed to be, but nothing about it. honors confederate, veterans of the soldiers. nothing. the cemetery that we're going to can i say cemetery. it's not much of a cemetery is just a few grades. but to me this is what our state flag is about. this is why our

flagship or my in the side the this was originally just a small family cemetery. so railroad tracks are in the same place. those are and they ran from meridian to jackson, around the vicksburg. soldiers died on the train right up here. they didn't even know the names of a soldiers. these are some of the files and who fall in dod and their families never heard from them again to know where they were buried. what happened to them this one right here it says
2:33 pm
a 6 brave soldier sleep here. so that's kind of feel about it. they were brave, they're honorable. they didn't fight to preserve slavery like fault because their home is invited because their, their state ask them to and it was honorable thing that the, the, or the how can you say that when, when that cause that you say that they fall. so nobody 4 was girded up by slavery. and then you know,
2:34 pm
the whole reason for mississippi getting into the civil war, they say very plainly, it's about preserving slavery. this stuff that goes back almost to founding in this country. that the belief that america is white. and anybody else in the country has to back down to the white so it's about white supremacy. it's about power and control. it's about maintaining the status. and any kind of change occurs in this country where it is progress made towards diversity is responded to as it is a. ready to the white, if we're going to change this flag in some ways white going to have to stand and step up. and it's got to have to use the legislation
2:35 pm
the last legislative session. there were 19 bills related to the flag the session there 22. all of those bills related to change or means by which we could change the flag has been introduced by african american legislators. the bills for in support of the current state fired have all been introduced by white male conservative legislators in 2001 or the people of mississippi voted on a flag. and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the current flag. well, i don't think we as elected representatives, have the right to overturn their decision. now, whether you like it or not, we can argue about that. but the decision was made by the people of mississippi to keep the current flag. so do you have a personal feeling about the flag?
2:36 pm
i personally believe that we should keep the flag. i think that the narrative that any little maurine being there that harkens back to the civil war is somehow racist or in support of slavery is just wrong. what we have to do is spend the time to educate every one of or what the real history it the, the belief that the flag issue will be settled when we all understand the real history of the civil war is attractive. but which part of the history confederate inherited supporters argue that the civil war was not fought to free the slaves? because abraham lincoln himself said, so it is original inaugural address. he said, if i could preserve the union for free and all the slaves,
2:37 pm
i do that i can preserve the union, but for some slight sense, if i can preserve the use of a phrase, those keywords preserve him though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery. he held common racist leaks and then there's the court when amendment amendment was proposed to actually legalize. and i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to, to join, get back in the union. but they did not. i didn't, they didn't want to have any part of it. all had, have been a mile with slavery. in the core and amendment would have fixed that, because it stated that the south to perpetually keep, is peculiar institution which referred to slavery. if they would not succeed from here and at the core one amendment passed both houses of congress and 18. 61 lincoln, and his 1st and all girl address said he would not interfere with it. had the car
2:38 pm
when amendment been adopted before the civil war began, it would have provided a constitutional protection for slavery in the united states. and it would have been the 13th amendment, the mississippi made it clear that they seceded to protect slavery, in part because they believe that black people were better suited to work in the oppressive heat or requirements for picking cotton. and some white mississippians feared that emancipation wouldn't just mean economic ruin. it would lead to something they fear, even more racial equality. this was made clear when a commissioner named william l. harris was sent to georgia to persuade them to join mississippi in seceding from the union. and form a southern confederacy of slaveholding states and an address to the georgia general assembly. he said, our fathers made this a government for the white man projecting, and there was an ignorant, inferior barbarian race,
2:39 pm
incapable of self government. he considered his speech, saying, mississippi would rather see the last of her race. men, women and children emulated one common funeral pyre, and see them subjugated to the tech redemption of civil political and social equality within the race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later with our previous president, there was nothing but a big hey. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war of a race war. more space on the was, was really what it was. this isn't a racial thing, not by any means. and we don't say for anything racial at all, we were out here were standing for southern pride, the news, the february with this prize very without believe that we're
