| @Bor you are wrong. The Civil War was fought over state's rights, mainly in regards to tariffs (taxes on manufactured goods). Slavery wasn't even in the CSA constitution. Actually, less than 1 in 4 families in the South owned slaves. Even more interesting, slavery was banned in the South before in the North. |

"The flag is also known as "the Stainless Banner" and was designed by William T. Thompson, a newspaper editor and writer based in Savannah, Georgia, with assistance from William Ross Postell, a Confederate blockade runner. The nickname "stainless" referred to the pure white field which took up a large part of the flag's design, although W.T. Thompson, the flag's designer, referred to his design as "The White Man's Flag". In referring to the white field that comprised a large part of the flag's design elements, Thompson stated that its color symbolized the "supremacy of the white man"."
"As a people we are fighting maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause." - W.T Thompson
Not racist at all. /sarcasm |

just about every flag in the western hemisphere is the flag of traitors, and some in the eastern as well Personally I don't care what flag people fly, the confederate flag doesn't stand for slavery or racism it was a flag used by people who, at the time, wanted to be able to keep slavery around no one complains about the German flag and it was used during the reign of one of the most powerful dictators of world war 2 Now that I think about it I'm not sure if they used the eagle or the tricolor, I'll have to look into it.

holy ignorance
civil war has nothing to with tariffs
states seceeded because lincoln was put in office because they hated his abolitionism
the southern states seceeded because they didn't want lincoln to take away their slaves, which is what they fought for
slavery was in the constitution according to the south, as they called slaves a "right to property"
people hate the confederate flag because it's a symbol of racism towards blacks and it symbolizes slavery |

The designer of the original flag of what the battle flag comes from himself said the white symbolised their supremacy over other races.
The Confederacy was not a good place neither is anything that symbolises it. |

| If you do more research, you would learn that the quote was in reference in the cause of rebellion, not slavery. Yes, the white supremecy was racist, but the exact same ideals were shared in the North. |
