“Let us be certain that our children know that the war between the States was not a contest for the preservation of slavery, as some would have them to believe, but that it was a great struggle for the maintenance of Constitutional rights, and that men who fought were warriors tried and true, Who bore the flags of a Nation's trust, And fell in a cause, though lost, still just, And died for me and you.”
J. Taylor Ellyson (1847-1919), Mayor of Richmond and Lt. Governor of Virginia.

Racial chattel slavery (a variety of servitude that was never endorsed by God in the bible) was embroiled in the interests of the South, but also, if to a lesser degree, in the interests of the North.
God did not look kindly on this, and a worse curse was on Dixie than on the North.
However the Dixie flag could mean a number of things, not just antebellum attitudes about slavery. Because of allergy to some possible usages of a word or a symbol, does not mean we must frown on all such usages.

To Hell it wasn’t about slavery. Tell me something professor, if the South had won the war would it have freed the slaves?
