That goes for me too!!!!
As a decedent of Jefferson Davis and a man that loves this Republic, thank you.
I understand your view and I know there were many who fought for the CSA who never owned slaves or even felt it was right to own them.
But you can’t escape that having the right to own slaves was one of the central issues. if the sountern states had not owned slaves do you think the war of Northern Agreesion would have been fought?
I think the right attitude might be that one should look at the times then and what was going on in the rest of the world. WE can admit that in today’s world We would not let slavery happen but we can’t change what was then.
Nothing should be taken away from our people who fought, in the largest majority of cases to defend OUR homeland.
I tell people who try to criticize me and tell me I must be a racist because I honor those who fought for us they are ignorant of the people who actually did fight for the South. I am proud to honor them
screw the haters
Unfortunately, a lot of white counter-protesters during the Civil Rights Era chose to display that flag, giving it it's current ill-repute in some circles.
The flag is obviously not about racism, and doesn’t deserve second class status to the Mexican flag.
Ignore the ignorant idiots and fly the flag if you wish.
I don’t think it was a flag for or against racism. I do think it was a flag of treason. Robert E. Lee agreed when he submitted his application for a pardon for his treason.
