This article has sections with information about specific states' use of the flag, which is highly relevant to the subject at hand. It also has a short section on the flags use in Remington, Va., a town of 600 in Fauquier County. I question this being notable enough to be included in the article.

Today, an anonymous user added a phrase to the lede statement that begins: "Supporters associate the Confederate battle flag with" which has a list of some of the ideas and events supporters associate with it. The user added "standing against Government overreach". This edit was reverted in one minute. Should it have been?
I live in one of the few parts of Maryland that is politically to the right. I bristle when I see Confederate flags hung outside people's houses or on their vehicles, almost as much as I do at "Trump 2024" flags. However, it's possible that, in addition to a nostalgia for a time and place of white privelege, some of the support for that flag is, indeed, associated with standing against overreach by the federal government. Maybe the statement should stand. Paulmlieberman (talk) 19:28, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Maybe the statement should stand." Then find sources to support the addition. We can not add our own opinions to the articles. Dimadick (talk) 10:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have found no evidence that the Confederate Navy consistently used a jack with a cross that was noticeably lighter in blue than other Confederate flags with this pattern. It seems to me that this is just speculation, or a one-off. Marcus365 (talk) 11:11, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
