My ancestors were slaves in the South. So I know some facts about how life was like under the Confederacy.
Why do so many who glorify the Confederate flag downplay the ugliness of slavery Southern states wanted to keep?

There were black slave owners, Anthony JOhnson was a very harsh slave owners who basically got slavery legal in VA and oh he was black.
There were also slaves in the north and around the world and still is.
The stars and stripes put Indians into slavery , killed them raped them a d lets remember the buffalo soldiers who were black who helped to cleanse the Indians of their land.
Yet I see a biker group called buffalo soldiers riding about, shall they be deemed as racist?
