I live about 60 miles from Nixa and we have some guys who like to drive around town with a big confederate flag mounted on the back of their pickup. It always struck me as funny seeing as how the southern landowners who ran the Confederacy didn't have much use for the poor uneducated whites who now days ride around with confederate flags hanging out the back of their trucks.
