The Confederate States of America lasted from 1861 to 1865 - four years.

Hitler's government lasted from 1933 to 1945 - twelve years.

Prior to 1861, slavery was legal in the United States of America from 1776 to 1861 - eighty-five years.

It sounds to me like you are offended by the historical facts of the United States of America. Why stay in a place you obviously despise? There's a great big world out there - why not pick another place to live?

It sounds to me like you are confused. The flag of the United States was not used as a symbol by those who attacked Americans to *support* and *maintain* slave-owning rights.
