I was born and raised in Connecticut, and for neither myself nor the people I grew up with (of every type) was the Confederate flag anywhere in the same ballpark. People are trying to MAKE it that now. The United States of America was always at her best when gracious in victory, and after the total desolation imposed on the Confederate states, it was wise to allow southerners to honor their dead and to see heroism and valor in the many things other than slavery that the South and even the Confederate flag has stood for. Heck, we even let the Japanese keep a defanged version of their Emperor. It is the Neo-Marxists and South haters who are trying to make a thing where there wasn't a thing for a VERY long time.
Here's former Yankee baseball player Roy White, wearing his baseball uniform (that "smells like a swastika") from when he was playing balls for the Columbus Georgia Confederate Yankees.
