Southerners do not burn the US flag. Unlike marxist Yankees who burn it, we have more just cause to burn it in defiance than anyone else in this nation. We, however, should stop flying it to show patriotism and solidarity with the troops - NOW! We should fly our state flags instead or the Confederate Battle flag to show that same patriotism & solidarity.
We don't have slavery, & wouldnt bring it back. Southerners mostly white but some black, fought against yankee invaders & against tyranny.. The Confederate flag will fly forever!
@TheBdavis231 If I lived durring that time, I wouldn't have fought for slavery, but I WOULD fight for that flag, and if your little bitch Sherman hadn't did all that shit in Georgia, we wouldn't be hatin' on each other anyways!
@cutter3280 Fighting for that flag and slavery are one in the same, the confederacy was formed in response to the election of Abraham Lincoln and fear that the republicans would end slavery. Not only did the confederacy not want equality, they wanted to undermine the democratic process and control the election with threats. In addition to that Sherman was a hero who helped to destroy supply lines and therefore save lives by bringing the war to a quicker end.
Propaganda to make Goebbels smile! Well done. Adding Sherman was a nice touch too, he wanted all Southerners dead, and was able to enact that policy against the Plains Indians after the war. Portends of Adolph Eichmann. You cute little skin head....

@Cionaodh57 .It seems ironic that you would associate others with Nazis when you're the one promoting a symbol of hatred. In fact, I've been called a bleeding heart Liberal, I support equality and freedom. Most often the Neo-Nazis are the skin head bigots, who promote the Confederate flag. Though I do agree with you most modern day "Confederates" do not burn the U.S. flag, they instead burn the houses of innocent minority families. You have the right to fly that flag, but we have the to burn it.
@SouthernDirtbiker "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth." - Mississippi, Statement of secession." h/t @Rundstedt1
@franksinclair1 Are you fucking retarded? You do know Lincoln was the one who wanted to keep slavery. He battled the south because we were succeeding. So shut the fuck up about slavery.
@franksinclair1 The war WASNT About Slavery. It was about the South Succeeding. The North Owned slaves to, So You are basically saying that the United States Of America's Flag during 1860 Was Racist.
No the North did not have slaves. Even as early as 1820 there are only about 3000 slaves left in the North, and by the 1860 census slavery had been abolished there. And the US as a whole was NOT founded on the principle of protecting slavery as the South was. Slavery may have existed in the US, but even that itself was at the behest of the South, and the CSA was founded as a slave owning republic with the expressed purpose of protecting slavery.
@Rundstedt1 You Sure did do Your Research.. I did look up "Did the North Own Slaves During the Civil War" and More than 3 Websites all gave me the same answer "Most Slaves were in the South" MOST. Also, The South Wasn't Founded on Slavery.
Sigh, as usual, you don't give any actual sources or recognize the distinction of what is meant by terms like North, South and Border states. So where were these slaves? how many? No, Fact remains, every Northern state had ended slavery and the actual 1860 Census shows this.
And the South admitted over and over that the Confederacy was founded on slavery.
As well as the statement from Mississippi printed by both me and Frank, there are plenty of other's to chose from:
@Rundstedt1 Well, Wikipedia, American History, and Another Site (I think it was called americanheritage or something like that). But I am Done Arguing I have better things to Do. ALL I AM SAYING. Is That The Rebel Flag is not racist in any way or form. Peace.
EXACTLY what is said? Come on? You're just trying to hide behind a misused, or in the case of Wiki, a poor source. The fact remains that slavery was dead in the North and the South formed the Confederacy to perpetually maintain a slave state as they themselves said. And as Alexander Stephens also said:
"The great truth, I repeat, upon which our system rests, is the inferiority of the African. The enemies of our institutions ignore this truth. They set out with the assumption that the races are equal; that the negro is equal to the white man. If their premises were correct, their conclusions would be legitimate. But their premises being false, their conclusions are false also.
Most of that fanatical spirit at the North on this subject, which in its zeal without knowledge, would upturn our society and lay waste our fair country, springs from this false reasoning." - Alexander H. Stephens to the Virginia Secession Convention, April 23, 1861
So certainly the Flag represents racism, as racist white supremacy was a founding tenant of the Confederacy and part and parcel with the slavery that the CSA was based on.
"The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution." Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens on the Confederate Constitution.
Perhaps even more poignantly the Virginia secession commission showed how the South felt about slavery:
"African slavery is a vital part of the social system of the states wherein it exists, and as that form of servitude existed when the Union was formed, and the jurisdiction of the several States over it within their respective limits, was recognized by the Constitution, any interference to its prejudice by the federal authority, or by the authorities of other states, or by the people thereof, is in derogation from plain right, contrary to the Constitution, offensive and dangerous" Virginia
@Rundstedt1 And you have thus proven that the US Stars & Stripes has a longer racist history harboring & promoting slavery than any other flag in this hemisphere! The US flag flew over every yankee slave trader ship sailing the western passage. We must get beyond the hatred - love God & love your neighbor! All southerners are neighbors & the Confederate flag is the flag of us all!
Unlike the CSA, the US wasn't formed for the sole intention of preserving slavery.
"The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution." - Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens
And after the trade was banned, all slave ships were pirates, and flew whatever flag of convenience was most beneficial, and whatever their listed home port, sailed secretly under pretense of legitimacy as does any smuggler, but their destination was universally the South and many arrived with collaboration of the local Southern authorities well into the war.
@franksinclair1 The US Constitution guaranteed and protected the institution of slavery from this nation's founding. If any flag is racist and protective of slavery it is the US flag, especially since that ensign escorted thousands of slaves along the western passage as they were lying shackled on their sides in the hulls of New England slave trader ships which had just exchanged molasses & rum for African human beings. Ban the US flag first! Then we'll talk.
And for any of you idiots trying to say there were so called 'black confederates'... that is a lie that the Civil war historical community scoffs at. Fact is, there is absolutely no proof of any so-called black confederates other than slave laborers or the occasional slave put under threat of death to be used as a human shield like Lee used Black Union prisoners of war to work on the fortifications of Petersburg while under Union fire.
“Any neo-Confederate or plain old American who wants to say, ‘No, no, it’s about states’ rights,’ has the problem that they’re not arguing with me. They’re arguing with the people in South Carolina who seceded; they’re arguing with the convention in Mississippi.”
"I don’t mean to be mean, but secession and the Confederacy was all about treason on behalf of slavery, and we have to call it what it was.” Dr. James Loewen
the civil war was about the dissolution of the union. the confederates were fighting for their independence, just like the revolutionaries did 87 years earlier. In the background of the conflict, the issue of slavery was used as a recruitment tool by both sides.. but the struggle was not over slavery, as Lincoln himself revealed in a letter; "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery." Abraham Lincoln, Aug 22, 1862
Sigh, not only are you determined to prove yourself absolutely wrong and totally ignorant, you find the you must be dishonest to do it.
Good job you just used the "Greeley quote mine" that that is a form of a lie. Typically you leave out the last line:
"I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free."
And the letter wasn't private, it was printed in the paper as a letter to the editor and was meant as a public relations devise to pave the way for the Emancipation Proclamation which he had already decided to issue, and was already written and waiting in Lincoln's desk Drawer for the right opportunity. And additionally, it was Lincoln's first duty per his oath of office to save the Union above all, he is only stating the obvious there.
And this is not even a debate in real academic history, historians in the field will universally state THE cause of the war was slavery. I suggest you pick up an actual book written by a real historian before you try and go correct a history teacher about history.
"Within the profession [historians] there's virtually no discussion or debate left of slavery as central to the antebellum south and the fundamental cause of secession and the war. To the extent within the profession there's a debate about this, people will talk about other causal factors such as economic factors creating secession and the Civil War, but those economic factors always come down to a slave economy" Dr. Eric Walther of University of Houston
"The war was ABOUT slavery. [Catton's emphasis] Slavery had caused it: If slavery had vanished before 1861, the war simply would not have taken place." Bruce Catton "Reflections on the Civil War" p5
"Everything stemmed from the slavery issue," - James McPherson
And as Professor Loewen points out my previous post, the South went out of its way time and again to admit the War was all about slavery.
"In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth." - Mississippi, Statement of secession.
"The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution." Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens on the Confederate Constitution.
I can go on and on, I have actual degrees in history, teach it, and I am well prepared to show any amateur hack a fool. Especially ones that dishonestly misrepresent what Lincoln was saying or why he was saying it as you try. The fact remains, as Civil War historians will universally relate and as I have shown, the war was about slavery and anybody who tries to claim different only proves ignorance. Now please go read an actual book by one of the many legitimate historians.
Northern schools sure have convinced a bunch of idiots that the flag means hate and slavery; that flag stands for freedom and liberty, yet you burn it.
@gsxraddict You are a parasite on historical accuracy. That flag represents a rogue nation established to preserve the most evil institution in human history.
@franksinclair1 you're a clueless idiot. Rogue nation? You probably think Lincoln was a non-racist hero, but he didn't care for black people or the constitution and slaughtered 600000 Americans.
Does that sound 'civil' to you? It wasn't the civil war, it was the 2nd war of independence.
I'd hate to go through life as stupid as you, sucking on government tit and tyranny.
You call the Confederate battle flag a symbol of hatred and treason? You poor stupid boy you, it's a symbol of rebellion against a tyrant, of defending your home from an invader. Learn your history before you do something this stupid.
Listen here. The rebel flag ain't a symbol of hatred or none of that bullshit. And anyone that says it does can kiss my ass. The rebel flag is 1 a southern, redneck, conutry thing 2 a heritage and 3 I guess a pretty good way to piss a dumbass like you off enough to go out and make such a dumbass video and then burn a piece of fuckin paper. You gotta be kiddin me? Point: Your a DUMBASS! Opinions are like ass-holes, They're everywhere, and best to be kept to your self. Try shutting the fuck up!
i would beat this guy six ways from sunday if i met him. and ppl are right alot of people dont know what the flag stands for, and only hate it because they they think they know what it means, and i saw it as just a redneck thing at first, but then i started to do my research, and i support the flag with all its meaning, and although i live in the northwest(not by choice lol) i agree with everything and support everything the flag stands for, and i do hope the south rises again
@imaStonesFan There are better things to do with the $30 or so it would cost to buy a real flag. Besides, burning a piece of paper had the desired effect, so it was much more cost effective, doncha think?
@franksinclair1 No the burning of PAPER You used with your printer to print out the battle flag does NOT bother me when you burn it. It just proves how cheep you are.
@franksinclair1 But that is objectively verifiably wrong. Black americans did fight for the south under that flag as slavery was not the only issue at stake, it was the right of states to secede from the union. You state lies as the truth with chilling confidence.
@streetburner0 You mean if the south had won we WOULD be better off and ""WOULD NOT" have hoes and crack heads lol...... you said would have crack heads.
ASSHOLE... IF I EVER MEET YOU I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS FOR DESECRATING OUR FLAG. IT'S HERITAGE NOT HATE! BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE 'CAUSE YOUR JUST AN ILLITERATE YANKEE AND BELIEVE ALL OF THE LIES AND DECEPTION THAT WAS FED TO YOU FROM BIRTH. I'M NOT RACIST. I HAVE BLACK FRIENDS. YOU JUST NEED TO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHTENED OUT. LONG LIVE THE CONFEDERACY!!!
You need to study history from a cultural standpoint. You said in your video description that the Southern Political leaders viewed "African Americans" as subhuman. In actuallity that was a belief held by the majority of whites through out the world at that time.
@PiLoAb You are correct, but the topic is Southern Political leaders, who did in fact view African Americans as subhuman, and they committed treason against the United States, and very nearly destroyed this country by fighting a war to preserve that notion and the institution that supported it, slavery.
The only symbol more disgusting than the Confederate battle flag, as far as I'm concerned, is the swastika.
This is absolutely outrageous!!! You shouldn't feel proud to burn our flag! You Northerners who think every Southerner is racist are sadly fooling yourselves! I know not every Northerner is like this person on Youtube burning a flag, but what makes Northerners feel like we'd be enemies still if we had won? The US fought two wars against the English, yet the two countries are strong allies now! Kind greetings from Tennessee! :D
@Pyramidhead1337 Learn the real history behind that. There was a mighty big catch to that, because no African American would ever fight on behalf of a movement designed to oppress them.
@franksinclair1 It is history you dont know much about it or you wouldnt be doing it! When slave ships came in from Africa they didnt have this flag hanging from them and never did the American flag was the one that was hanging from the slave ships! Do some research fool!
This the reason people of all kinds have fought and died so you can have a free choice to a ( ASS OR NOT ) GOD, GAVE US FREEDOM OF CHOICE, BY GIVING HIS ONLY SONIF YOU ONLY KNEW, AND AMERICA HAS TRIED TO PROTECT THIS RIGHT AND IT IS SLIOWLY BEING TAKEN AWAY RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSES. AS WE SPEAK OBUMER IS MAKING PLANS TO TAKE THE SECOND AMENTMENT COMPLETLY AWAY GOOD GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
You talk a lot but have no foundation on which to argue.. I bet you talk a lot of peace love and tolerance, and just burned a symbol of what men felt as true freedom of a oppressive government .. therefore you sir are nothing but a HYPOCRITE basking I. Your own self righteousness .. get a job
@franksinclair1 many of your arguments are based on false facts, it seems to me that you have no idea what your talking about. The statments you made are based on extremely biased northern views of the south that in actuality are not true. I suggest the next time you want to make an argument about something you learn the true facts of the matter instead of running big words together trying to make yourself seem smart because honestly the description just makes you seem like an uneducated idiot.
How can a flag with the color red symbolizing the blood of Jesus Christ, the white for his purity, and the x representing the shape of the Cross of St. Andrews which he was crucified on because he deemed himself not worth to die on a cross like Jesus represent hatred!? I think you need to educate yourself!
@confederatevet1966 Because it's a battle flag for a rogue nation formed to preserve slavery, which was based on ignorance and fear of African Americans.
@confederatevet1966 YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT AMERICAN HISTORY HERITAGE OF THOSE THAT LIVE IN THE AREAS OF FAMOUS BATTLEGROUNDS OF THE CIVIL WAR. YOU OUGHTTA STICK SOMETHING UP YOUR ASS THAT WILL SLOW BURN AT HIGH HEAT YOU & USING JESUS'S NAME SHOULD BE STRUCK DOWN IN VAIN. YOU IGNORANT FUCKHEAD,COME HERE TO CHARLESTON,SOUTH CAROLINA AND SAVE UP FOR A REAL REPLICA FLAG SO YOU CAN GET WRAPPED UP IN IT,WHEN IT BURNS JJ MacKillor
@714jada As I have stated in the comment section many times, my aim is not to destroy one's personal property. So I have no intention of burning YOUR flag.
That said, THE Confederate battle flag must be burned, and burned often.
According to NPS dot gov, written by park ranger Don Pettijohn on Feb. 2006: With the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the course of the America’s Civil War between the United States (Union; Anti-Slavery) and the Confederate States (Confederacy; Pro-Slavery). The Proclamation added the abolition of slavery to the preservation of the Union as a goal for the successful Union effort.
You're a dumbass mother fucker man. I dont know who the fuck you think you are going on about that. I'm a U.S. Marine, and I fight for our country. But I'm from a southern state, and I'll be damned if someone disgraces my heritage like that so blatantly and disrespectfully. The flag itself is a symbol to those of us who are not ignorant (like yourself) of states rights, small federal government, and pride in our upbringing and patriotic ways.
You want to burn a flag, burn a nazi flag, that flag represented the true meaning of evil! The Confederate battle Emblem, was not a country's flag! I was to represent the original 13 colonies, It was made to show the Yankees who why we fought and died for in the Revolutionary war! The confederacy never killed it Slaves. The war was not started over slavery to begin with, it was started of the North making us stop sell our goods and other stuff
@franksinclair1 You left wing pinko commie faggot, bleeding heart liberal. The south was selling Cotton to the British Empire, for a good bit of money, they sold most of the cotton that was produced, to the English. The North did not like that so they putt a heavy tax, on anything sold to the English, then put a stop to it entirely. The South was forced to sale the cotton to the north a fraction of the price they was selling to the English. Slavery was not an issue, not at first!
@franksinclair1 If you believe what is written in the High School history books then you're not smart at all, sir! The history was written by the united states, it was made politically correct in the 80's. Slavery was not an issue when the war first broke out. The south was wining the war, wining almost every battle, Licking dick Lincoln, saw he was losing the war, and needed a way to boost moral and troop numbers, so he wrote the emancipation proclamation.
You think what you learned in the high schools was the true history. You do realize what political correctness, is every where, you don't think that they would not like to save face about what really happened,
@Dudemeistero fuck you,ya ugly nigger lover. we're proud of our heritage and the only reason why they say the south was the bad one was because you yankkee nigger lovers covered it up
@jackasskidzify So you're proud of incest and a narrow view of the world? Wow, you also assume that I am a so-called "yankee" yet I live on the Naval base in Norfolk and I PROUDLY serve this beautiful country. What have you done for this country, besides have sex with your sister and butcher the English language?
Ignorant motherfucker doesn't realize that the ships that brought slaves from Africa flew the STARS & STRIPES, not the Confederate flag, and slavery existed under the STARS & STRIPES for a hundred plus years before the Confederate BATTLE FLAG was ever dreamed of.
@falcondriver100 You have swallowed Confederate revisionist history whole. All the notions you have espoused have been repeatedly espoused elsewhere here, and also repeatedly debunked.
The Confederacy was a rogue nation founded to protect an evil institution. Face it pal.
@franksinclair1 "Repeatedly debunked"?? Then I'm SURE you'll cite evidence that I'm wrong, correct?? Can't wait you lying asshole. You're silly little mental games of calling me a revisionist, while its YOU who is the revisionist, won't work on me lil buddy!!
The war had nearly nothing to do with slavery. It was over systematic economic oppression of the South and Unconstitutional overstepping of the Federal Gov't on States rights. Break out a fuckin history book, dummy!
@franksinclair1 you aren't very educated are you? if you were, you would not be so quick to bash the confederate flag. president Lincoln was actually in favor of slavery before the war and believed that slavery was protected under the constitution. crack a few college level history books and see what you can learn.
@barnesj89 You should too. You'll realize that the United States of America, as imperfect as it has been, was not founded to preserve and extend the most horrific institution in the history of mankind, slavery.
@falcondriver100 Read Emma Lazarus in her World, the book--the lady who wrote their poem "bring me your huddled masses" on their statue of liberty: her father was a slave holder, big time. He tried to keep slavery in south, and like many lived in nyc, (had a place on 5th avenue!) but plantation in LA Linicoln's SS were Pinkertons who were overseas communnists, and he used "48-er" people, the northeast had more slaves, and was a 1900 acre plantation where the bronx is now, lol. what a tool
@franksinclair1 LOL! You're such a loser, too broke to invest $30 into buying a flag -- but still filled with enough malicious intent to make a video about it. I notice there's no one around to support your burning effigy. Way to take such a bold, risky stance.
Come on down South and lets try this again -- there's a beautiful Rebel Flag on my Statehouse grounds. Please attempt to remove it, I dare you. Maybe this flag means treason to you. Or racism. Whatever degenerate interpretation. --
You really need to accept up front that the flag isn't going anywhere, no matter how much internet blogging you do about it. From there, you're free to complain about whatever you want -- race relations in the South, revisionist history, blah blah blah. You're entitled to all of those opinions -- but with 5k views and 146 dislikes, we'll see how popular they are, right?
@franksinclair1 really whats your proof.. did you know only 6% of the south owned slaves..and even black men owned slaves.. someone doesnt do there home work much . this flag was made for the army and the navy..had nothing to do with any state .
The war was about slavery the South admitted it itself over and over.
"The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution." Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens on the Confederate Constitution.
And by the time of the war slavery was dead in the North. Even as early as 1820 there will only be about 3000 slaves left in the North and that number is falling. (Macmillan Encyclopedia, "Slavery In The Civil War Era"). So no, there were on salver states in the North by the time of the war.
There were no 'abolitionist' states in the South! Nope, sorry all the Southern states were soundly slave states. And as evidenced in the Cornerstone speech and the statements of secession, they were nowhere near willing to give up their 'peculiar institution.'
@franksinclair1 That is why in the world the Stars and Stripes flag is burned by South Americans, Arabs, Asians, Europeans, because reprecenta intervention, abuse, oppression.
Dixie is a rebellion against the central state, monopolistic. Dixie is NOT kneel.
@IhsaanS You don't know the whole story on that. I wonder just how proudly blacks in particular fought for the Confederacy's cause of preserving their status as property.
@IhsaanS Ik they all blame the whites but their the ones who sold themselves into slavery in the first place tribes would capture other tribes and sell them for guns and other things
@IhsaanS Proudly? For what? Treason, traitors, racism, hate, and poverty? Yeah, definitely something to be "proud" of. They fought and died for heinous reasons, and should be something to be embarrassed by, not proud of. Notice us "normal" people have moved on? Us Northern people don't have any "northern pride"? I just don't understand southern mentally.
You're so fuckin stupid, dude. I guarantee you wouldnt attempt to burn the Confederate flag in public because you'd get your ass stomped. If you can't respect our heritage, maybe you need to go back to wherever you came from.
Since you don't like History maybe we should tear down all statues of Martin Luther King. My son asked me what the big deal is about this flag and I was able to tell him. Dumbass
@TheDEMSUCK I'm losing count of the number of pro and neo-Confederates who make my argument for me. It's gotten to a point now where I expect it.
Tear down statues of Martin Luther King because I don't like history. I bet when you're drinking your moonshine and having your roadkill BBQ, the mere mention of Dr. King's name makes you want to re-enact Rosewood in 1923.
@franksinclair1 looks like you have some prejudice of your own and are describeing a vaguely (at best) event that happened almost 60 years after the war . Yes racism existed in the 1920's as it did in the 1860's. Rascism was shared by the North as well as the South as it still is. Lincoln said himself the war was over saveing the Union, not over slavery (the exact quote is on the wall at the Lincoln monument in D.C,). Lincoln would have shiped the "freed slave" to Central America".
Wow... You would never do that in front of a bunch of rebels. "Heritage my ass!"? Really? Do you not know the true meaning of that flag? I guess not -_-
@waitandbl33d23 Oh I know the TRUE meaning of that flag - honoring the men who fought and died under it...to preserve slavery. slavery, in turn meant that slaves were subhuman. Enter reconstruction, and the klan and the southern redeemers who instituted Jim Crow and enforced it for more than 80 years, all of whom flew that flag.

@Rundstedt1 You Sure did do Your Research.. I did look up "Did the North Own Slaves During the Civil War" and More than 3 Websites all gave me the same answer "Most Slaves were in the South" MOST. Also, The South Wasn't Founded on Slavery.

Sigh, as usual, you don't give any actual sources or recognize the distinction of what is meant by terms like North, South and Border states. So where were these slaves? how many? No, Fact remains, every Northern state had ended slavery and the actual 1860 Census shows this.
And the South admitted over and over that the Confederacy was founded on slavery.
As well as the statement from Mississippi printed by both me and Frank, there are plenty of other's to chose from:

"The great truth, I repeat, upon which our system rests, is the inferiority of the African. The enemies of our institutions ignore this truth.

Most of that fanatical spirit at the North on this subject, which in its zeal without knowledge, would upturn our society and lay waste our fair country, springs from this false reasoning." - Alexander H. Stephens to the Virginia Secession Convention, April 23, 1861
So certainly the Flag represents racism, as racist white supremacy was a founding tenant of the Confederacy and part and parcel with the slavery that the CSA was based on.

And after the trade was banned, all slave ships were pirates, and flew whatever flag of convenience was most beneficial, and whatever their listed home port, sailed secretly under pretense of legitimacy as does any smuggler, but their destination was universally the South and many arrived with collaboration of the local Southern authorities well into the war.

@franksinclair1 The US Constitution guaranteed and protected the institution of slavery from this nation's founding. If any flag is racist and protective of slavery it is the US flag, especially since that ensign escorted thousands of slaves along the western passage as they were lying shackled on their sides in the hulls of New England slave trader ships which had just exchanged molasses & rum for African human beings. Ban the US flag first! Then we'll talk.

And for any of you idiots trying to say there were so called 'black confederates'... that is a lie that the Civil war historical community scoffs at. Fact is, there is absolutely no proof of any so-called black confederates other than slave laborers or the occasional slave put under threat of death to be used as a human shield like Lee used Black Union prisoners of war to work on the fortifications of Petersburg while under Union fire.

the civil war was about the dissolution of the union. the confederates were fighting for their independence, just like the revolutionaries did 87 years earlier. In the background of the conflict, the issue of slavery was used as a recruitment tool by both sides.. but the struggle was not over slavery, as Lincoln himself revealed in a letter; "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery."

The Proclamation added the abolition of slavery to the preservation of the Union as a goal for the successful Union effort.

And by the time of the war slavery was dead in the North. Even as early as 1820 there will only be about 3000 slaves left in the North and that number is falling. (Macmillan Encyclopedia, "Slavery In The Civil War Era"). So no, there were on salver states in the North by the time of the war.

There were no 'abolitionist' states in the South! Nope, sorry all the Southern states were soundly slave states. And as evidenced in the Cornerstone speech and the statements of secession, they were nowhere near willing to give up their 'peculiar institution.'

@franksinclair1 That is why in the world the Stars and Stripes flag is burned by South Americans, Arabs, Asians, Europeans, because reprecenta intervention, abuse, oppression.
Dixie is a rebellion against the central state, monopolistic. Dixie is NOT kneel.

It's a symbol of racism? so all the blacks, mexicans, irish and indians that fought proudly for the confederacy are racists? Dumbass.

@IhsaanS You don't know the whole story on that. I wonder just how proudly blacks in particular fought for the Confederacy's cause of preserving their status as property.

@franksinclair1 There was more to slavery than you think. There were FREE BLACK men who OWNED slaves.

@IhsaanS Proudly? For what? Treason, traitors, racism, hate, and poverty? Yeah, definitely something to be "proud" of. They fought and died for heinous reasons, and should be something to be embarrassed by, not proud of. Notice us "normal" people have moved on? Us Northern people don't have any "northern pride"? I just don't understand southern mentally.

You're so fuckin stupid, dude. I guarantee you wouldnt attempt to burn the Confederate flag in public because you'd get your ass stomped. If you can't respect our heritage, maybe you need to go back to wherever you came from.

Since you don't like History maybe we should tear down all statues of Martin Luther King. My son asked me what the big deal is about this flag and I was able to tell him. Dumbass

@TheDEMSUCK I'm losing count of the number of pro and neo-Confederates who make my argument for me. It's gotten to a point now where I expect it.
Tear down statues of Martin Luther King because I don't like history. I bet when you're drinking your moonshine and having your roadkill BBQ, the mere mention of Dr. King's name makes you want to re-enact Rosewood in 1923.

@franksinclair1 looks like you have some prejudice of your own and are describeing a vaguely (at best) event that happened almost 60 years after the war . Yes racism existed in the 1920's as it did in the 1860's. Rascism was shared by the North as well as the South as it still is. Lincoln said himself the war was over saveing the Union, not over slavery (the exact quote is on the wall at the Lincoln monument in D.C,). Lincoln would have shiped the "freed slave" to Central America".

I agree 100%, burn both the Nazi and Confederate Flags, they are one and the same ideals of racism

Wow... You would never do that in front of a bunch of rebels. "Heritage my ass!"? Really? Do you not know the true meaning of that flag? I guess not -_-
waitandbl33d23 5 months ago
@waitandbl33d23 Oh I know the TRUE meaning of that flag - honoring the men who fought and died under it...to preserve slavery. slavery, in turn meant that slaves were subhuman. Enter reconstruction, and the klan and the southern redeemers who instituted Jim Crow and enforced it for more than 80 years, all of whom flew that flag.
That legacy is what begs for its desecration.
