The Leland
Family of Virginia has family who served
honorably on both sides during
the Civil War. The confederate flag is the Battle Flag of the 41st
Alabama Infantry (courtesy of Alabama Department of Archives &
History) and is here and various places
throughout this
website because it is the flag my my great grandfather, great great
grandfather and great grand uncle all served honorably under it. It is
not meant as a symbol of racism, it may be interpeted as a symbol of
States
rights. The flags of Britain, Scotland and Ireland, that I know of
could also be shown, Britain was defeated by the Federal Government,
they introduced slavery into the United States and were active in
providing transportation, yet no one objects to the Union Jack. It is a
part of family history and not meant to be a subject of controversy.
