The Leland Family of Virginia, 1744 - 2000

Rick's Guestbook

This flag 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 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.
