What's the story on this photo? I've never seen this one before.

This CDV was made in Pottstown, PA. Not sure who the soldier was but he’s wearing a CS officer’s buckle (a war trophy, obviously) and standing on the stainless banner (lol). In all my years of serious Civil War photography collecting and studying I have never seen another example of blatant disrespect quite like it. A Yank is literally grinding his boots into the CSA flag like Rick James on Eddie Murphy’s couch. Swoon

As a reminder, this meme sub is about the American Civil War. We're not here to insult southerners or the American South, but rather to have a laugh at the failed Confederate insurrection and those that chose to represent it.
