I went to high school with a quaker who's family had lived in the area for decades. Wore a rebel flag shirt that said "its not hate its heritage".
I have an ancestral line that runs back to the late 1700s in Vincennes (ancestor got a land grant for fighting with George Rogers Clark). All of the Civil War soldiers in that line were Union, and I just assumed most areas of Indiana would have been the same at that time.

The KKK started in Indiana. No surprise with the confederate flags.

Yeah its kinda odd. I have ties to both the confederacy and the union (thanks to having family from Kentucky/Virginia)
My family originally was gifted land by the British crown in Virginia thanks to one family member's service as a Captain and privateer for the royal navy.
Most however in central Indiana don't really tend to have confederate ties, and as such I find it kinda cringey when people use the rebel flag. Even with my ancestry I don't fly the rebel flag because Im from the Midwest, not the South
