@TheMadKingEnDanska Most people waving that battle flag believe it to be The Confederate Flag, and the confederacy did fight a war to defend their "right" to own other human beings.
Even forgetting the slavery and racism, the Confederate Flag (or the Virginia Army Battle Flag) was still a flag flown by people who committed treason against The United States and who killed 664,928 American Soldiers. To wave that flag is to spit on the memory of James B. McPherson (Major General, killed in Atlanta), Joseph K. Mansfield (Major General, killed in Antietam), John F. Reynolds (Major General, killed in Gettysburg), and countless others.
