Makes sense I guess, I doubt there are many armies that travel with a purpose-made surrender flag ready to go.
The real flag of the confederacy
Grant had Sherman fuck them so hard they literally had to throw in the towel.
Ah. The only accurate confederate flag.
TIL dish towels have always looked that way.
