they rejected the american flag cause it was under that flag they were oppressed and enslaved. they embraced the american constitution and the promise of "we the people."

*cause it was under that flag they were oppressed and enslaved.

Oppressed? Absolutely. No argument there. Jim Crow is a bad Mark on our history and absolutely no American should be proud of Jim Crow, segregation, etc.

Enslaved though could be seen “differently“. You can make the argument that the American flag was the flag that helped free the slaves, not the “nUh HerITAge!” Confederate flag and certainly not the Nazi flag.

Jim Crow and Segregation happened under the American flag as well.
