I don't get the uproar about the Confederate flag...do you?

The Confederate flag represented a divided nation.  11 states that withdrew from the union because they wanted to maintain the right to racism, slavery and white supremacy.

When they lost the war they did not want to give up what they called their heritage.  They wanted to maintain that symbol of supremacy.  Their anger ran deep and groups of men divided and came up with a group of people who were going to right the wrong committed against the Confederacy.  They were the KKK.  A known Terrorist affiliated group who believed that they were the supreme beings.  The horrors they committed against the black communities were atrocious and vicious.

Until you study the whole history you will always fail to see the reasoning.  When driving truck we were converged upon by young people riding in trucks, displaying the Confederate flag.  Not flying both flags but only the Confederate flag.  They harassed everyone at the shopping center.  Rolling around honking their horns and yelling obscenities at the black population.  They made a mistake of coming after several black truck drivers. The looks in their faces as Truckers emerged from their trucks with tire thumpers and fifth wheel pullers was Priceless.  

Until we unite as a Nation and forget the division of color we will never recover.  COVID-19 has taught us that it doesn't distinguish colors, religion, or nationality.  It wants everyone.  We need to follow suit and realize that we need to unite and once again show the world that we came, we saw and we overcame.  We are a force to be reckoned with.  America has one flag for a reason and it stands for all we need to survive and lead.

The Confederacy is a part of history that is over and done. The confederate flag is symbolic of a culture and region that condoned slavery and went to war to secede from the union. The confederate flag has no place in modern American society, other than history books and museums. 

More humans have been killed under the STARS and STRIPES than under the confederate flag.

The USA planes that dropped the atomic bombs on the civilian cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't flying the Confederate flag.

 And neither were the planes dropping napalm on Vietnamese civilians.

Liberal cultists think banning flags and statues will eradicate racism. Problem is, the liberal cult are the racists.

They’ll go after books next. Just like the Nazis. 

Trump cancelled The Secretary of the Army's order to change the name of Army Bases named for Confederates. 

History is history. Exactly. Like how the US Continental Army took the airports from the British in 1776. Trump should teach history more often.

History didn't stop when the Civil War ended though.  You might want to check out the history after the Civil War and educate yourself on what the Confederate flag came to represent since then.  History is history after all.
