Why is it that 140 years after the Revolutionary war most of the descendants of the British Loyalists no longer had allegiance to Britain?

Two different arguments here. Nobody is bashing America or saying that they are not loyal Americans. Hell, the south kept Gore and Kerry out of the White House. As far as your line above... we as Americans are not bashing Britain and there is no contraversy over the British flag. Yes, you are right that we no longer have allegiance to Britain, but Britain is not being treated as the Confederacy is being treated. This is an argument of the demonization of the South, which sadly is perpetuated by the left today.

I am from the South having lived to Texas and Louisiana most of my life. However, while I understand their may be nostalgia for the Confederacy, you cannot ignore that fact that the constitutions of both the CSA and each Slave Holding State was based on promoting and retaining the institution of Slavery. That spot will not wash out of the fabric of the Confederate Flag. However, that spot has faded from the American Flag due to the Union's reputiation of Slavery and its actions to rid the south of slavery.
