    Perhaps a lasting symbol of State's rights?? As most of us know, the Civil War was not fought over the issue of slavery, but was about economics/taxation and politics. The 'Slavery' cause was thrown out there by the North to make the conflict appear to be "Noble".

    It was only banned from government buildings. People in the south will always fly it high. Why don't you go down south and tell them about it? Then post what the results were, if your able.
