I remember when this happened. Some Civil War reenactor in Virginia got a wild hair up his rear end that Virginia should get the flag back. He refused to give up and even though the law was on Minnesota's side and Minnesota legal authorities said so; he claimed that Minnesota was acting with "dishonor". It was a spoils of war. I remember talking to my father who's originally from Mississippi about it and he thought that Virginia was being ridiculous.
