They flew the incorrect Confederate Flag prior to rejoining, despite the fact that those in Town Line who fought for the Confederacy did so under yet another version of the Confederate flag: Then in 1946, like an alcoholic going through Step 9, they rejoined the Union. As the war pressed on and the townsfolk sobered up, they pretty much forgot about that whole secession thing. A viral social media post suggesting that District of Columbia police officer Michael Fanone was pictured carrying a Confederate flag inside of the U.S.
Interesting side note: Town Line, NY actually flew this incorrect Confederate flag on purpose because they couldn't find a real one. This tiny chunk of western NY state held a town meeting in 1861 and decided to seceed from the Union for a variety of half-baked reasons. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That the flag of the Confederate States shall be as follows: The width two-thirds of its length, with the union (now used as the battle flag) to be in width three-fifths of the width of the flag, and so proportioned as to leave the length of the field on the side of the union twice the width of the field below it to have the ground red and a broad blue saltire thereon, bordered with white and emblazoned with mullets or five pointed.
Yet somehow, that's the one that gained popularity. There were some (read: very few) Confederate Army units that used the rectangularized version. So where did the popular (and incorrect) version of the Confederate flag come from? Some may say it was the Battle Flag, then spew some lies about how even slaves fought for the Confederacy to pretend they're not racist. The Confederate Battle Flag was square.
