About

The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply "the General") is the name given to a 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the Duke boys, Bo and Luke, along with cousins Coy and Vance (in season 5). It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. The car appears in every episode but one ("Mary Kaye's Baby"). The car's name is a reference to American Civil War general Robert E. Lee. It bears a Confederate flag (a rectangular variant of the square battle flag of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia) on its roof, and also has a horn which plays the first twelve notes of the song "Dixie".

    @ThePilotDude @Strikefighter04 this has nothing to do with your argument and I'm like 4 years late but:

    Using the swastika, I can't just say "oh that means german greatness" and expect that that will actually change reality

    Hitler was a nut job and just thought his flag would look "cool", so the symbols like the swastika have no meaning for anything on the Nazi flag, other than Nazism.

    In fact, the swastika does have a deep meaning. For thousands of years, East/South Asian religions such as Buddhism have used the swastika as a symbol of peace (and it's still widely used today). If I remember correctly, Hitler used the swastika for his flag as it was meant to symbolise bringing "peace" to Germany and later Europe (by uniting the entire continent).

    So yes, people will get offended if you say that the swastika is purely to show Nazi pride.

    @YesMyFriend well if you're going to come in and make misleading claims it's going to result in an argument. This issue shouldn't be controversial, but due to a century of misinformation and propaganda people honestly believe that the CSA was morally right, and that it's "heritage not hate"

    @YesMyFriend prageru is not the place to go when it comes to Civil War education. As to the flag you posted a link to, that was the first national flag of the CSA, which was quickly replaced by this due to its similarity to the US flag. When I said "used by white supremacists", I'm talking about during and post war, with reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the people that opposed Civil Rights in the 1960s. It is a white supremacist flag.

    @YesMyFriend Northern border states had slaves, yes, however they didn't betray America to keep them, and got rid of the practice after the passing of the 13th Amendment. Yes, that design is the Confederate flag. It was first the main battle flag of the country, and then a part of the national flag, and has been used by white supremacists ever since for that exact reason. Not sure what Lincoln being a Republican has to do with anything. Sounds like you're making some assumptions about my political leanings

    @ThePilotDude just some things to keep in mind dude, first of all the north also had slaves, not only the confeds. Second of all, that's actually not the confederate flag. Thirdly, Abraham Lincoln was a republican. I just don't want to be hated. I just live in Texas and I wanted to make a point!

    I’m a bit late, but it was pretty obvious people would get triggered about the flag. I’m just sitting here with some popcorn watching the thing. Looked back on when this whole thing started, and the forecast said some snowflakes would be touching down. :)

    @Strikefighter04 hey, I'm sure that debate thing is far over at this point, but I found this youtube channel that does videos on this kind of stuff, very entertaining and informative, you should take a look at his "Checkmate, Lincolnites!" series to see all those CSA and Lost Cause myths properly combated. Here's a link to his video Confederate Soldiers DIDN'T Fight for SLAVERY!! (Or Did They?). And to be clear, this isn't "Yankee Propaganda", just facts.
