Strange film

They just showed a film tribute to the American flag at the Republican National Convention. Typical stuff, except the Civil War was never mentioned. Several other wars were mentioned, and the slaves were magically freed. It closed with a heartfelt thank you to all the troops who fought for the American flag. Except, it seems the Union Army who freed those slaves. I guess they didn't want to offend their Southern, rebel flag-waving base.
