A follower asked: How can we help our fellow Americans understand how southerners feel when the confederacy is attacked? What is your take on the subject? If you have a questions you'd like me to answer feel free to drop it in the comments as well, you may be featured in my next The Swain Line video. #TheSwainLine #CarolSwainSpeaks #Confederacy #Americans | Carol M.

Scotland - Jamaica - the Russian Navy - The Southern confederacy - how come we all share a flag? It’s a wild old ride this one. A lot of the evidence here is anecdotal and circumstantial rather than academically rigorous, but it’s compelling all the same. Other saltires exist around the world too - I’ve already done a reel about Tenerife having the saltire. But where else uses them? Thought a wee St Andrews day reel from an airport in Sweden would be fun, enjoy! | Alistair Heather
