Dec 6, 2019 at 11:36 comment added Spagirl I believe so, I can't find any evidence of it being any kind of standard terminology, indeed such a practice would appear to be contrary to the US Flag code, but I believe Whitman was describing what he saw, and this is what one sees on images of the funeral procession as it moved across the country.

Dec 4, 2019 at 7:58 comment added Rand al'Thor Done :-) I left the images quite big, but if you want to resize them to fit two side-by-side, then I guess you can add [...]m.jpg instead of [...].jpg just by editing manually, without needing to reupload or anything.

Dec 3, 2019 at 20:02 comment added Rand al'Thor Any reason why you didn't include some of the images in your answer? (I was going to edit in one or two images to make your answer clearer and more self-contained, but then wondered if you deliberately didn't put them in.)
