What you don't seem to understand is that the Confederate Battle Flag is an American flag, and always will be. It is sacred to millions of Americans whose ancestors did their duty and served bravely and honorably.
“Comrades, through the years of bloodshed and many marches you were tried and true soldiers. So through years of peace you have been good citizens, and now that we are again united under the old flag, I love it as I did in the days of my youth, and I feel sure that you love it also.” N.B. Forrest
I find it interesting that you chose that particular Forrest quote in pursuit of your point. You are aware that the flag of which he speaks in that quote is the Stars and Stripes?
Boy, your mind is full of snakes. The Founders were not trying, at first, to break away from the Crown. They simply wanted the same rights other Englishmen enjoyed in the ‘’Mother Country’’ They still considered them to be Englishmen and British subjects but, in short, looney King George refused them this and so they rebelled. No, the CBF is NOT an American flag, it is a flag of treason and while many would revere it, I hardly think that ‘’millions’’ do , many more do not revere it even though men are capable for fighting bravely for an evil cause and the cause that the CBF stood WAS evil.
