Your nostalgic obsession with the Confederacy would be like Germans flying the Nazi flag because they wanted to respect their heritage. My nostalgic obsession? Some of us have family who fought valiently in that war and are buried like dogs in a mound at places like Shiloh. You compare the confederacy to the nazis? Are you so stupid that you don't know the stars and bars never flew over any slavery? It was a BATTLE FLAG. All I ask for is that my heritage isn't spit on and torn down by my fellow Americans, but that is asking a lot, I'm sure.
Your petty little mind can't grasp the fact that the WONA had more than one causation. Want to guess which flag it was when the slave ships pulled into port on the African coast?

My family is from New Orleans and I am well aware of what the Union did to the South during the WONA. However, I understand that the war ended 136 years ago and that the South lost. I also understand that it is our human heritage to accept views of those who conquer our nation. Therefore, Germans do not fly the Nazi Flag, the Japanese do not fly the Imperial Japanese Flag, and the nice people of English heritage in the New England states do not fly the Union Jack. They all lost their Wars and the Stars and Bars is a symbol of the ignorance and intolerance of the South.
