    I felt the same, just flat out terrible looking. Just completely foolish, juvenile.

    But an almost instant second thought was about how impossible it’d be, in that time and place especially, to keep those big white…stretches…continuing to look anything close to white. Civil War being the messy thing it was, Confederacy in particular not exactly known for their sharp discipline and order, lol…

    Bet those things* looked like total ass, flown.

    Almost makes for a funny metaphor, somewhere. Can’t quite get there myself, but something to do with their big, badly designed white spaces getting browner all the time 🤷‍♂️
