Alexander H. Stephens, vice president of the Confederate States, Cornerstone Speech, March 21st 1861

[The Confederacys] foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.

He refers to the north as anti-slavery fanatics and states Their conclusions are right if their premises were. They assume that the negro is equal, and hence conclude that he is entitled to equal privileges and rights with the white man. If their premises were correct, their conclusions would be logical and just but their premise being wrong, their whole argument fails.

He refers to slavery as the laws of nature. Going on to say: Our system commits no such violation of nature's laws. With us, all of the white race, however high or low, rich or poor, are equal in the eye of the law. Not so with the negro. Subordination is his place.

The confederacy, and thus their flag, stood for slavery and white supremacy. THAT was the whole point. Straight from one of their leaders mouth.

Think about that the next time you (or you hear someone) say the Confederate Flag is just American Culture or Southern Pride

American culture is treasonous toward centralised power, that's what it was founded on.

You mean it's time to have another civil war. Problem is if you start it, you're the instigator so the government who want stability will paint you the villain. You'll be suppressed if you try as there's no political incentive to drain the bible belt swamp.

It's what you Americans did for American reasons. Going back to not using slaves is mimicking the Empire you left. It's admitting your reasons for leaving were frivolous.

You failed to erase your ugly history so it's imprinted on your culture forever. Live with your mistakes. The Confederate flag is the flag of Americans you failed to win over and tried to erase but failed.

And no, Confederate flag is the flag of treason, it makes you anti-american.

It also makes you a racist. And a horrible person. And a loser, and a threatening narcissist, and an embarrassment.

Reminder: This is a lazy troll topic

Reminder: Symbols change and evolve over time. (Remember the Swastika? That used to be recognized as a sign of good fortune.) That's not even going into the fact that one of the reasons the US split from Britain was *also* to preserve the institution of slavery and up until the *1960s* the US enforced overt segregation, making this objection the Confederate flag hypocritical at best.

Yeah and the Swastika is now a symbol of hate and racism.
flying the confederate flag would be like a German flying the Nazi flag and saying Symbols change its not about racism anymore because I said so!

The flag also wasn't really used as a 'heritage' symbol until Jim Crow. A lot of Confederate statues went up around that time. Why have a Robert Lee statue in Ohio that was built in the 50's? Reinforce white supremacy during segregation. That definitely makes the flag racist.

All traitors are treasonous, is in your blood. You can't help it, it's just how Americans are. You have so many people resentful of governance in your country because that's just what you guys are inherently like. Even when given the chance to make government exactly how you want it, you still have an in-built urge to destroy it.

It really is though. It's unamerican to reject what you're all about, An American without slavery and treason is just a Angle without a nation.
