now the confederate flag as i know it

ISN'T THE FLAG OF THE SOUTH YOU FUCKING IMBOCILES, IT WAS A BATTLE STANDARD. its a flag SOME confederates used in battle. some confederate states flew their own flags as well.

it by NO MEANS REPRESENTS WHITE SUPREMACY

that came MUCH LATER. the ku klux klan adopted it, and the white skinheads and everyone else, so now it represents that to alot of people. because you know we have them on this magical thing called video flying it.

but it was never meant to resemble white supremacy, as much as just differentiate troops on a battlefield.

did the south fight for slavery? YES, ABSOLUTELY, but they weren't fighting for it because whites are superior, as much as WTF MAN you YANKEES that live in cities and work in shitty industrial factories are trying to tell me a rich white dude with a plantation that i have to lose my work force? or pay them? its not enough that i house and feed them and clothe them, but i have to cut profits i'm accustomed to by like 3/4 at the least? eat a dick, i'm seceding, you can keep your states.

it is ABSOLUTELY TREASONOUS. its a REBELLION. there is no higher treason then TO ACTIVELY MAKE WAR AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, but with that said, i'm pretty sure the north fired first.

either way tho.

the main point is the flag also CAN represent the OPPOSITION of an OVER REACHING GOVERNMENT.

whether you agree with what people in the south stood for, the whole slavery thing, or not is irrelevant honestly.

if the government just made it law that 98 percent of all your earnings is now the governments, WOULD YOU NOT REBEL? you would be commiting treason absolutely. but the victors write the history.

but word the confederate flag has come to represent white supremacy amongst alot of americans due to the KKK and white supremacist organisations adopting it, but its only meant that since the 1900s

in its inception it was nothing more than a battle flag, not even flown by the entire confederacy.
