− | + | On [[January 25]], [[2000]], [[Pensacola City Manager]] [[Tom Bonfield]] decided to replace the battle flag with the [[Wikipedia:Flags of the Confederate States of America#First national flag ("the Stars and Bars")|Stars and Bars flag]], which was deemed more appropriate and "historically correct" by local historians. The [[Pensacola City Council]] voted 7-2 on [[February 10]] to confirm the use of the Stars and Bars flag instead of the battle flag; on the same day, the [[Escambia County Commission]] voted unanimously to keep the battle flag. | |
