If you were a proud American, you wouldn't be advocating brothers fighting brothers again. By the way, you DO know the South LOST, right?
And before you start calling me names, I am white and from farther south than you.
You write like you're 6.

Due to your poor spelling, grammar, sentence and sentence structure, I may have had difficulty understanding what you are trying to say.

However, if I recall my basic American history (it has been 13 years since I've had a formal US history class), the South broke away from the Union, the United States of America, and formed their own country, more or less. With the South's pulling away, they also adopted their own flag, the Confederate flag for the Confederate States of America. Since the South supported slavery, I find that it is quite easy for one to draw the conclusion that if another displays the Confederate flag, then one is still for slavery, segregation, racism against African Americans, etc.

I also find your use of "rebel" interesting. One could see it to mean that you're actually trying to contradict what I think is your point. Are you showing the Confederate flag (assuming that you do so), and/or out of resistance to the current government, norms of society? If you're a proud American citizen by birth (or by berth, that definition could work too...) then why rebel?

When you said "...we went to war..." are you implying that you were there and approved of the war? Seeing that the war was about 130 years ago that would be quite interesting. You would very literally be living history.

You have to blame the people that made the Confederate flag corrupt. It's not supposed to be this way.

Here's another example: The more controversial flag is the Swastika flag which represented the Third Reich, in Germany. You have to blame Hitler for this flag being corrupt too.

In the olden days to the Buddhists, a swastika represented resignation; it symbolizes eternal life and the promise of salvation to Christian believers.

Now, flags and colors represent territory, especially by gangs (any race). If you wore red in the North or Blue in the south, you were either trampled to death or badly injured. People do this as a form of identification and territory. Same with grafitti. Grafitti is a tagger's flag.

Just like the way a dog or cat marks their territory. So all in a nutshell, some people are just closed-minded individuals or mad animals, when IDENTIFICATION is misrepresented.

The rebel flag is a symbol of maintaining a capitalistic system of slavery and keeping a people enslaved. Of course you wouldn't understand because it wasn't you.

Now, as far as how you spell and express yourself...what school system do you represent?

While you are going back to school to learn english, perhaps you should take some history lessons and what the confederate flag stood for.
