NC: Group wants to line Interstate 40 with Confederate flags

Via comment by Anonymous on Achieving Southern Destiny


A group dedicated to Southern rights, which last year organized a rally in support of the county’s Confederate monument, is now working to line Interstate 40 with Confederate battle flags.

Alamance County Taking Back Alamance County — which has been shortened to ACTBAC NC — is raising funds for a multiyear project called Flagging 40.

The goal, according to Gary Williamson, the group’s main Facebook administrator, is to place a large Confederate battle flag in every North Carolina county that Interstate 40 runs through.

“It’s mainly to show support for our ancestors and to keep Southern pride alive, more or less,” he said. “Our ancestors and our way of life have been under attack for the last year, and all of our memorials are going to be dedicated to the Sons of Confederate Veterans from that specific county we are in.”
