The confederate flag represent a country the correctly withdrew from the Union and that was attacked and forcefully brought back into the Union. Hundreds of thousand of soldiers died for freedom from northern dominance.
People wrongly call the war between the states, a Civil War. That is a Yankee term. It was a war of northern aggression. A war of independence. A war of freedom and separation.
Grant marched through the south burning, pillaging, and theft of property. The south will never forget its heritage. Symbols and all. FYI, the war wasn't about slavery. That is just a foolish Yankee idea.

From another yankee who moved south,

Nobody mentions the fact that there was legalized slavery in the north before, during, and after the war. So the U.S. flag=hate???

In retrospect, shooting up Fort Sumter was a pretty stupid thing to do, wasn't it?

War of Southern Rebellion would be the most accurate.

FYI, the war wasn't about slavery.

Of course it wasn't.
