I never really understood why people seem to like that flag so much.

They seceded, a war was fought, and then they lost. And unlike almost any other civil war ever, the losing side wasn't purged or anything, they were let back in.

Why do people like waving around the flag of the LOSING SIDE unless they think they never lost?
.

People call it the rebel flag for more reasons than it being tied to the confederacy. Almost immediately after the war groups meant to oppress black people were using it as a rallying symbol

it helps that the south has been miseducating children about the civil war for many generations, and those children go on to misinform their children, etc. When I was a kid a lot of people would just tell you its a symbol of southern pride and not delve any deeper than that
