It wasn’t the “War Between the States.” It was the Second War of Independence. And everybody lost.

Winners write the history books. In this case the winners wrote about a war between the states. But even so - you haven't actually addressed my point ... I'll make it an explicit question. Can anybody else think of a conquored state that has been permitted the privilege of flying its battle standard after the conquest and surrender?

Wales and Scotland.

Mexico. All it’s illegal aliens waving their flags EVERY DAY in this country.

Vichy France.

Besides which, this flag isn't being flown by the "conquered State". It's being flown by individuals. People can fly any flag that they want, or even create a flag from a non-existent State if they so desire.

I would note that, in many leftist demonstrations, the flag of the old Soviet Union is still displayed. That state also no longer exists and has a longer history of bloodshed and ignomy than the Confederacy ever had.

RESISTOR

Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.

“permitted the privilege...”
To Hell with that! If they try to ban it, the War will resume immediatly as far as I’m concerned.
