Black American Flags

[WinstonSmith]

So, back in the Civil War, a black flag was often raised, research often mentions the Condederate Army doing this but I think it was probably both sides, to show the opposite intentions of a white flag. It's meaning was "No Quarter" "We Will Not Surrender" "We Will Not Give Ground"

I have been seeing people adopting the black American flag and raising them as a symbol that patriots will not give ground and no quarter will be given.

Thought it would be good to put this thread up in case people see a black American flag flying and wonder about the meaning.

Solid Black American Flag

My neighbor switched his regular American flag out for a solid black one this week like the photo attached. Anyone know what this means today? I read some stuff about flying a black flag during the civil war but not real sure that applies in my neighborhood in Woodstock. Something to do...

I had to look it up a few months back when someone on here ask what it meant.

THANK YOU, for the explanation and details. You saved me a lot of legwork if and when I see one.
