About John Tyler:I do not understand the sentence; what does a member of the Confederate House ?

Thats “The Confederate House Of Representatives, CSA”

Frogman_tg:Thank you for your answer, but I still do not understand. I am from the South (of France) and I think that I miss some common knowledge from the confederation times.

..I dreamed I saw a rapper wearing confederate flag emblem on his backwards oversized baseball cap(he wasn’t a Yankee fan,that’s for sure).He was a Vietnam vet’s son wearing Air Jordans made in Vietnam.he sang about his bitches and ho’s while kissing his mother.His tats said I work for toyota on one arm and he had the ten commandments on the other.He sang,"The south is here,the south is queer,the south’s gonna raise stronger with Viagra/we ain’t sold out /we’re sold like slaves/we’ve raised up again/ in the name of allah most gracious most merciful/fool

then I woke up.

True story.I wrote it down..

TRAITOR!

The football team entry cannot be factual. It is both a physical and financial impossibility for the team to wear a different style uniform for every game. That would require an infinite number of new uniforms and new styles. From a rules standpoint the styles would be limited to whatever rules governing uniforms applied. From a manufacturing standpoint, it would be impossible to supply different style uniforms on a continuing basis.

dick noodles – go to Wikipedia and read about the uniforms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Ducks_football#Uniforms It appears, with all the new designs for helmets, the ‘combinations’ of all current and past jerseys, pants,socks, etc… makes it possible to keep changing the ‘uniform’ each week.

Regarding the U of Oregon football uniforms part of the strip…I say “not”…I live in Portland, Oregon and see all of the Duck football games…they do actually wear the same style of uniform for multiple games…they save the new styles and weird combinations for the “Civil War” (ironic, isn’t it…to be talking about the Civil War in another part of the panel and all athletic contests between Oregon and Oregon State being called “Civil War” LOL) game and bowl games. it is true, however, that there are several thousand color “combinations” that can be used; what helps in that regard is that college/pro sports organizations allow the use of yellow or gold as a “neutral” color, as in, it can be worn by the team at home or on the road; Oregon’s official colors are green and gold; in football, the road team generally wears mostly white uniforms and the home team wears its ’dark" color; one final note: the uniform experimentation is done mostly with the football team; other teams from the U of O generally wear the same color combinations ;)

The Confederate Flag does not stand for racism or treason. It is the cross of St. Andrew. The war was not about freeing slaves it was about states rights. Even U. S. Grant said he would join the Confederates if he thought the war was about freeing slaves, and he owned slaves too! Many Blacks fought in the Confederate army. Don’t believe it? Ask the Sons of Confederate Veterans in which I am a member of, we have Black members! The Southern states were only going by the Constitution as it was written. The states not the centeral government are supposed to have the last say on how the country is run! If the centeral government does not act in the interest of the people, then the people have a right to abolish it and form a new government. That is how George Washington and Thomas Jefferson meant for it to be. The Southern States only wanted form a new government and go their way in peace. They did not want to overthrow the Northern U.S. government. But the North wanted to keep the South in the Union so they could keep collecting taxes from them!
