Confederate Flag?
For the purpose of remembering our fallen war heroes, history, culture, and past.
Can we not remember those who went to their death for the cause of justice, not the cause of slavery?
Can we not just get past the racism of the CSA and think of the present, when the flag stands for history & heritage.
Can we not realize that the psychos who kill and are bias in the name of the CSA are idiots and act as traitors to their own cause?
Can we not just remember that the south was a good place, not a land of monsters. Despite it's actions, it didn't live for dominance?

The thing is... The Confederate flag that is used today was never actually an official flag of the Confederacy.
The "Rebel Flag" that people think of today was just a naval battle flag. All memorials held after the Civil War used the official Confederate flags...not the rebel flag.
The rebel flag didn't become popular until the civil rights era when states and groups adopted it to show their distain and opposition to civil rights and desegreation.

Not gonna lie, since you think the failed states of the confederacy (1860-1865) were a good place.
The flag is a symbol of hate and oppression. The whole premise of building the CSA was because of the north's opposition to slavery, a horrible part of America's past.
It is the American equivalent of the Swastika or the Hammer and Sickle.
Southerners have issues when it comes to historical facts.

the flag stands for history & heritage of traitorous losers
and at the end of the Civil War every one of those flags should have been burned and banned
