    Google up the Trent Affair that what the Confederates were trying to do a union ship stopped a British mail ship off of Cuba and removed two Confederate on they way to France and the UK asking them to recognize the south as it own country the Brits threaten a 3rd war and some were willing to give it to them President Linclon told them ''one war at a time boys'' [civil war] he did order their release telling his people ''was this not the reason we declared war on the English?'' he made no mention of trying to take over Canada

    It is not a foreign flag because the confederacy is no longer a foreign government. But yes, they did declare themselves a different country.

    Yes. It's anti American. I find it funny that people who wave the confederate flag get pissed when they see a Mexican waving the flag of Mexico. Both Mexicans and southerners took parts of Anerica at one point.

    The CSA is exactly like ISIS. They stole land that belonged to a country they betrayed and were nasty, evil little turds.

    Yes, and Yes. They never had any legal standing to secede (as made clear in Texas v White, 74 U.S. 700 (1869), however, so they were never ACTUALLY a foreign nation.

    Yes, so is the Mexican flag that flies all over California.

    Foreign to the U.S., yes it would be. It allies one with a force that fought to topple this country and the freedom it stood for.

    Even Congress has recognized Confederate veterans as US veterans. So no.
