the flag is a big problem because seperatism is growing in the south. as long as the union is strong, the flag is no problem, but if the states grow to strong again, well than it becomes a problem.

and so many people are offended because they think the civil war was about slavery and not states rights...


This right here is the largest problem.  Sure slavery was a part of why the civil war happened, but to hear it in history class in school these days it is the ONLY reason we ever had a civil war.

I agree, this was the big misconception that is happening right now.  All of the media outlets don't even discuss this at all, they just run with the idea that the confederate flag = slavery.  We can't just throw away history because we don't like any reason for it.  THe current rights that we(US citizens) all have were strengthened by the civil war, not weakened.



It is near the end of the end....
