"When Obama was elected, we took down Old Glory and replaced her with the First National flag of the Confederacy (Stars and Bars)."

Unfortunately there has been an accelerating trend during that time for Old Glory to represent slave states, those enslaved by government. Given the states rights aspect of the confederate flag it would be no surprise that it might come to represent free states, or government of, by and for the people.

In reality, the Confederacy ended up with the victory. Dixie is the land of a strong economy and the Yankee states are increasing the minimum wage and dealing with confiscatory corporate taxes.

Indeed, things have done a 180 as this map makes abundantly clear. The "Solid South" is the land of true freedom and liberty, rejecting the slavery of Big Labor. Those states that once ostensibly fought against human bondage now are shackled by the evils of unionism.
