After PikeBishop posted on an earlier page the link to the confederate states' official documents on why they were succeeding, I have no idea how anyone else continued to argue that the war was not about slavery.

Hell the confederate flag also stood for the fight against integration. It stood for segregation. That's why it became so popular in the 50's-60's. They should ask their grandparents why the flag became so popular back then. Hell watch the old videos. The flag is about heritage, yeah hateful heritage. Glad we have old videos from that time period of those loving, peaceful, southerners waiving that flag at those black thug protesters.

I guess it was about state's right during the civil rights era too. A state's right to treat people like shite.

People know what that flag stands for...they want to sit up here and act dumb.

I always wondered why we didn't see blacks waiving that flag during the 50's and 60's. They are southerners too, they also love the south.
