We have a local elderly black man that sets up on weekends and sells Confederate flags from the side of the road. Our neighbor is a black pastor and his sons both have Confederate flags for curtains in their rooms and one flying in the yard. It is NOT a symbol of racism. It has been hijacked by skin-heads, KKK, and white supremacists for their evil purposes and has been lied about by the liberal media.

There were black soldiers that fought for the South and most of the Confederate soldiers neither had slaves nor believed in it. My family only got involved after Yankee soldiers burned their farms and destroyed or stole their crops and livestock just because they were Southerners. Most slaves belonged to wealthy politicians and plantation owners, not regular hard working people.

The reason I know this is because my great-grandfather was born in 1865 and lived to be 100. I was able to talk to him about the war when I was a kid. Not many kids can say they talked to somebody that was only one generation removed from the war. I trust his word over any of the revisionist historians of today.
