It is a symbol of History when a group of people banded together to try and preserve their way of life.
It is a symbol of South strong and independent and the Southern way of life battling the industrialism of the North
It is a representation of how people can get bent out of shape by a wrong view. To claim the South was only about Slavery is like saying Hitler was only about Killing Jews, or the Catholic Church was only about the Inquisition.
It is a reminder that while other nations were allowed to make mistakes, USA and the Indian removal, Germany and the Holocaust, Japan and the takeover of China and Korea, France and the Reign of Terror. The South will forever be vilified for it's one mistake slavery.

a misunderstood, misappropiated flag.
One thing the Confederate Flag people think is the Confederate Flag isn't. That's the stars and bars which was purely a battle standard which has been misappropiated by the KKK. The Sons of the Confederacy in recent times have tried to get the KKK from using that flag particularly after the KKK has aligned themselves with Neo-Nazis.
Anyway when I see some one with the Rebel Flag (Stars and Bars) I don't think racist just a country-music, southern rock loving redneck.

When ever I see the Confederate Flag, I just think of a time that Our Country had when it had to settle an argument with itself and a time that did show that one of our rights that will never be lost was proved!!! We must fight for what we believe in and accept what might happen if we fight!!!

To me the "Confederate (Rebel) Flag"represents people who usually don't know what they're talking about. The flag that is used most commonly seen today was not the flag of the Confederacy.

To me it represents the South in their attempt to withdraw from the Union of states, a move opposed by Lincoln and a move which eventually led to Civil War.
Chow!!

I find it beautiful, with Cross-like center,blue to state it`s uniqueness, stars representing divine greatness, and red field meaning courage and sacrifice.
I also think it represents the second sacrifice of New World Order (France during revolution, was the first), but I would never dare to think it doesn`t represent racism, too.
