The Confederate flag represents one thing: TREASON. Lincoln should've charged the leaders with treason, as the Constitution states, then we wouldn't have this problem. So much for being nice. Now they still wave the flag 150 years later. YOU LOST, GET OVER IT!!!!!

There are some blacks who see the flag as what it is.. the former battle flag of the Confederate Army that represented States' Rights and opposition to the Federal government. It was not a symbol of racism until the Klan hijacked it. \n\nAlso, there are many blacks who are descendents of the handful of black soldiers that fought on the side of the confederacy.  There is also a huge biking movement in the black community and the flag is used by a lot of bikers.\n\nI do know that there are even black Sons of the Confederacy in Nashville.

Arkansas had alot of troops to join the confederacy. Not alot happened in Arkansas but if it were not for the Confederacy it would not be a state. It was started by the confederacy. It was a territory before 1860.

Burning the American flag is an act of free speech. People support free speech, it's in our Bill of Rights. The Confederate flag is known to represent legal slavery, something that is morally outrageous.

Most Southern people I know fly the confederate flag because to them it symbolizes the south and their heritage as their relatives served in the Civil War.  Most really don't look at it as a flag of oppression and slavery.  I don't think they view it that way at all.  For many years you never heard a word about this until blacks made an issue of it.  It was the war between the states and many good people including black people on both sides lost their lives.

during the civil war many of the stated split into two.  Half of the state joined the Union, and the other half the Confederacy.

I personally feel that flaunting the Confederate Flag is insensitive.  One of my ancestors was the cousin of Jefferson Davis.

The scarlet letter itself, the meteor, the forest, the scaffold, the prison, Pearl - all symbols of evil or sin.  These links should help you.  Best of luck with it.

You're very correct in this. MOST people do not use the confederate flag as a symbol of hate; they use it as a symbol of their southern roots. It shows a severe lack of education for people to simply assume that the flag means one thing, and one thing only, to those who wave it.\n\nWe all have a different meaning of the American flag, Mexican flag, Puerto Rican flag, etc. Does waving a German flag make one a Nazi? Does waving a Chinese flag make one a Communist? \n\nAnd whatever happened to freedom of expression? Apparently freedom of expression only applies to illegal Mexicans who want to protest our (generous and accepting) government and wave their Mexican flags in our faces.

To me, it goes back to the Civil War, when the Confederacy was red and the Union was blue. In other words, Republicans(today, even though roles were reversed back then) are in many ways still like the Confederacy, pretty much all the states that were in the Confederacy are still Republican.

There were 15000 black soldiers in the confederate army fighting the union army.\n\nFly your flag properly. Fly it below or at the same level as the victors flag. Follow the same flag protocall as with the victors flag.\n\nI fly mine daily. ain honor of all who fought and died for  both sides in an unnecessary war.\n\nBless all Black and White- North and South who Died .
