  1. Drprophetius the flag was originally raised in 1962 because people were offended by desegregation

  2. FilterExel They didn't rebel against the Union but the United States. As a southerner I get some of the resentment stored up from the defeat of the Civil War but we have to realize our own part in it. Lincoln didn't start the war. The South did by first seceding specifically over fears of Lincoln's perceived anti-slavery stance then by firing on Ft Sumter. Then in the aftermath Jim Crow laws were inflicted on blacks to impede their progress and their rights while 4000 were lynched over the decades. Yet they want to brush all of that aside with a scarce acknowledgement and act like they are misrepresented
