This confederate flag stuff is just theater. Banning the confederate flag will not stop racism or prevent any future massacres of people by a nut case.
That being said, I don’t support flying the confederate flag on government buildings. Regardless of why certain individuals fought or how they fought in the War Between the States, it can not be ignored that if the confederacy had won, slavery would have continued. The confederate flag was a symbol for a government that accepted slavery as fine and that government was defeated, thankfully. Therefore, remove it from government buildings.
Now if private citizens want to fly it, fine, go for it, but as a conservative, I see nothing positive or “team building” in flying the old symbol of the confederacy on our current government buildings.
end of my two cents
The North passed an amendment to the Constitution to make slavery permanent and not subject to further amendments (Corwin amendment). The great majority of the north cared little about southern slaves. The war was fought to subjugate the south.
