yet..I live in the state that got rid of the Stars and Bars in exchange for the original looking confederate flag..-sigh-..I liked the stars and bars D:
Its kinda sad really that people only rember the flag in the comic which was the battle flag, the political flag is actually this [link]
(the one with the circle of stars and 3 bars)
The reason theres a difference they were afraid the soldiers would mix up the two. Also the reason they split off is because farming was basicly the economy and the slaves were workers and without them there would be no money and i dont encourage slavery just giving the facts. Also some people down way south call the civil war The War Of Northern Aggression which is hilarious XD
Well these days a lot of southerners see the Confederate battle flag less as a symbol of racism, and more as a symbol of the South. I know plenty of people who display a flag like this who don't have a racist bone in their bodies.
southerners aren't the only ones holding the confederate flag. My friend told me that people in Indiana have the Confederacy flag sometimes. I like to call those people 'northern' rednecks
Actually, a majority of the soldiers in the Southern states went to war as a reaction to the Northern Army invading their lands after they broke from the Union. Most of the people who use it now are not actually racist. They're just proud of their heritage as "rebels." Northerners labeling them as "Racist" only makes them feel like the North is looking down on their history.
Hahahahaha a racist part of American history. The southern part of the country wanted slaves, made it's own flag... that was that flag. Rednecks still occasionally use it. The rest of the country facepalms.
FUN FACT-Cotrary to popular belief, this actually ISN'T the Confederate flag. The actual one is very different-the Friendship Flag is just their battle flag.
