Despite attempts to shame Confederate history and symbols, sales of Confederate flags are booming, AL.com reports.
Alabama Flag & Banner in Huntsville, Alabama is doing its best to meet the demand. It’s receiving up to 100 orders a day.
Other manufacturers stopped producing the flag after the church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina and the subsequent decision by then-governor Nikki Haley to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol building. Orders came streaming into the Flag & Banner store.
After violence in Charlottesville and talks about removing historic monuments that are tied to the Confederacy, there was another increased in demand for the flags, says the shop’s owner Belinda Kennedy.
“After the church shooting Amazon and Walmart stopped selling [the flag] and people were afraid they wouldn’t be able to buy it,” she told AL.com. “And then you started seeing streets renamed, schools being renamed, mountains being renamed. And then people started getting angry. And then there’s another surge.”

I have no doubt leftist freaks are 99.99% of the buyers.
The law of unintended consequences has not been repealed.
Nice to see a company taking advantage of a market opportunity.
I have one in my living room. I bought it when usconservative came through.
Confederate flags bought and paid for by Soros for the actors they hire.
And this guy makes a living as a "journalist."
Nikki-poos sellout was about the flag at a memorial on the ground.
The libs attacked guns...gun sales went through the roof.
The libs attacked Chick Fil-A...Chick Fil-A sales, went through the roof.
The libs attacked the Confederate flag, flag sales go through the roof.
Looks like they’d see a pattern emerging in all that....
BS. I have a Confederate Flag hanging on the wall of my garage. Come and get it leftist freaks!
they are too stupid to recognize patterns like that.
it would require a level of thinking that they are simply not capable of.
even if they did “see” the pattern, they are too stupid to interpret it correctly.
Its still legal to sell those?
Isn’t there a hate crime law that makes those sales illegal, its obviously a symbol of white supremacy.
This is the type of thing the UN is warning us about.
Me too. But it’s in a drawer.
I have 2 Confederate flag lapel pins, somewhere. Ordered them earlier in the year.
I own about 10 Confederate flag are you calling me a leftist freak?
These folks are 10 minutes from work. Need to stop by and get mine...
That may not be the case, it may be those who fear it will be wiped from memory and the face of the earth. They want to keep some piece of Confederate history. After all some numbskulls want to take down all the statues & memorials. Keeping that history alive is not a bad thing, it is the distortions that made it such.
As though those are the only places in the world to shop. You can literally Google "buy Confederate flag" and find dozens of different websites who'll sell you a Confederate flag and have it on your doorstep in 2-3 days.
I didn’t find any Confederate flags at Amazon, meaning that Amazon deliberately removed all of them. They have “Don’t tread on me” flags. No ISIS flags.
Tough. I have a Confederate key holder that I bought before the country became certifiably fascist. Will they put me in jail for it? F*ck em.
