President's Day

PRI's (Public Radio International) Studio 360 has good Lincoln piece called The Battle of Lincoln that is not recommended for neo-Confederate historical revisionists like the folks at Second Vermont Republic, League of the South or "Vermont Commons".

(Note: Studio 360 has been having a problem on the direct link and may take you to On The Media. If that happens, link to Studio 360 here and click the player on The Battle of Lincoln piece.)

Flags of theSecond Vermont Republic

This flag is the standard of the present daySecond Vermont Republic.

This flag represents the movement by members of SVR to "collectivize" the assests of the State of Vermont andre-create a Soviet-style centralized economy based on a report written by SVR members of UVM's Gund Institute.

This flag was used by various 2010 election campaigns of SVR, such as gubernatorial candidateDennis Steele's campaign, managed by secessionist embed in the Occupy Vermont movement, Matt Cropp, as well as at the official websiteof the Second Vermont Republicthat is maintained by theMagnolia Vermonter, Thomas Naylor.

This is the earliest known SVR flag which represents SVR's strong ties to the white supremacist League of the South that continue to this day.
