I've never owned a Confederate flag. I've never flown a Confederate flag. I think the Civil War was stupid and very avoidable. I think both sides were at fault, but the South more so.
That being said, when the PC crowd declares war on the Confederate flag, it gives me a desire to fly one just to get in their faces.

What you said. I would add tragic to my description of the Civil War.

You’ve got remember the Civil War generation was not very far removed from the Revolution. The South foresaw the onset of a strong centralized govt......just like the one they had fought a generation ago.
The view from a large part of the South was....”We just fought against a strong govt....telling us what to do, taxing us, etc.....and now we are setting up the same thing....no thanks”
Anyway, that is the way it was taught to me.

[...] a desire to fly one just to get in their faces.And that, in part, is precisely it's purpose.
