There is no way to separate the CSA battle emblem from racism, treason, slavery -- and just being pitiful clueless losers. I'm sorry it doesn't suit you that I refuse to identify with that.

How about the Stars and Stripes, Walt? That flew over northern states that condoned slavery roo.

What the slave owners took issue with was that the nothern states were becoming less and less willing to support slavery.

The South Carolina Declaration of Causes even says that northerners labored under a false religious belief that slavey was wrong.

Slavery existed under the U.S. flag; it was U.S. citizens who were becoming increasingly uncomfortable with it ---except in the slave states.
