The confederate flag is a symbol of southern pride, nothing more.

Funny thing how there isn't any Northern pride or any Northern flag.

If I mention segregation, slavery, lynching, Dixiecrats, or terrorist organizations like the KKK, southerners get all red-faced and their panties in a bunch and want to start the war all over again. Some of you say I need a history lesson. Well, until you can demonstrate to me what the heck "southern pride" is in real terms that don't involve eating BBQ, listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd, or anybody remotely involving the movie Deliverance, my impression is that You People still have a major PR problem.

You are still throwing stereotypical stuff around. Deliverance? C’mon that is so 70’s. By the way, The KKK has been thoroughly denounced by the southern people. Now you denounce your racists like Jessee Jackson and Al Sharpton.

There is. It has 13 alternating red and white stripes, and fifty white stars on a blue background. We're very proud of it. Even it you aren't.

LOL Thats the funniest thing I have read in a while. The North doesn't need a flag. Our pride stands tall in our towering sky scrapers, beutifull cities, strong industrial base, and prosperous peoples of all colors and creeds living side by side.

I always hear that the south didn't rebel because of slavery but in defense of states rights, but what other rights of the southern states were being violated other than the threat of abolition??? Furthermore the southern states were acting illegaly and against the constitution by denying others their god given right to liberty, which is why almost all Northern states abolished slavery shortly after the US Constitution was sighned, because slavery is unconstitutional.
