Flag Dont

How is the confederate flag racist? doesnt it represent heritage not hate?

were not allowed to wear anything with the confederate flag on it in school anymore and you can get in trouble for harrassment if you wear it in public. however, i think people have corrupted the meaning of the flag, i dont believe it stands for racism, i believe it stands for pride of the south. what do you think?

There are so many people posting here who really need to study the true history of the time period of the War for Southern Independence, including those who claim to know it.

The war was about the same thing that the Revolutionary War was about–the right of self-government. The Confederate States Constitution was almost identical to the U.S. Constitution with a few minor changes. One of the changes was the abolition of the slave trade. Slavery, too, would have died out over time.

If the South wanted to keep slavery alive, the most logical thing for them to have done would have been to stay in the Union. Lincoln promised to leave slavery alone, and made that clear both in his overtures to sign a Constitutional amendment to that effect, as well as comments made in his inaugural address. It is both ridiculous and grossly historically inaccurate to suggest that the South fought to preserve slavery, or that the North fought to end it.

When asked if he was fighting to end slavery, General Grant made it clear that he was not. He said that, if he thought that was the cause of the war, he would resign and join the other side. Of course, he didn’t free his slaves until well after the war. The Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free any slaves. Lincoln was careful not to free any slaves in any area where the Union had control. That included the border States (Maryland, Delaware, etc.), and the areas of States where the Union army was occupying (parts of LA, Kentucky, western Virginia–which would become West Virginia, etc.). It was only a war measure, and Lincoln made that pretty clear.

The Confederate battle flag is uniquely Southern, and does indeed represent Southern pride, as well as the resistance to tyranny. No one can, through misinformation and bad education, change that fact.
