It's a symbol of where I'm from.
It's the flag my ancestors proudly flew and the cause for which they died.
It's an image of rebellion in the face of tyranny.
It's the pride and honor of a God fearing southern nation.
It's a beacon of freedom that we're unfamiliar with today because it's rights were brutally taken away.
It 'was' the last stumbling block to a Godless, self-indulgent, and sadistic empire.
It's my heritage.

If I have been walking alongside, and observed the celebs and bars on your front backyard, i might assume which you have been anti-government. i don't purchase into this "death custom" communicate. it somewhat is an emblem of the previous south, which on the time of the Civil conflict, replaced right into a insurrection tension. They needed to prevail from the Union. however if or not they have been maximum suitable in this or not, i'm not likely to decide throughout the lens of history, written ordinarily via liberal, white Yankees, from soft armchairs in Ivory towers. yet i will assert that immediately, as quickly as I see this flag, it somewhat is an emblem of revolt against what may well be seen institutionalized liberalism. i don't take it as an emblem of racism. this is an oversimplification, for my area. I take it to point, that those persons reject the political type, of a reliable critical government. they are into states rights, and erring on the area of guy or woman liberties, like weapons. in addition they don't prefer countless heavy-surpassed environmental regulation, crimson tape, and so on.

Outside of museums and historical settings, the first impression I have upon seeing it is that the person flying it is an ignorant and arrogant redneck, and probably a bigot.

There's no justifiable reason to assume any pride in, or to display, the flag of separatists from over a hundred years ago. We've long since passed that point in our history and our society, and it's rather insulting that people still carry it around.

To me, the Confederate Flag stands for both originally) state's rights over the good of the nation, and now) either ignorant people who are still racist, or more enlightened people who feel the South should have been allowed to secede, because of state's rights

I have a neighbor that has had one flying on his house every day for the pat 7 years, ever since he moved in. At first I was very upset to see it. Then we got to know the neighbors and he is from Porto Rico and she is from up north. They only see the flag as part of the south without all the stigma attached to it like I do. It has taken a few years but I no longer "see" the flag.

It's a part of the history of the United States. A controversial and uncomfortable part, to be sure, but it still needs to be treated as such.

To me it stands for slavery and treason. Some people say that the confedracy was about states rights and not slavery and thats true BUT the right that Southern states cared the most about was the right to enslave others.
