    Modern proponents of the Confederate flag cite several reasons for their support, but the central theme is that the flag is historically significant. Cooper & Knotts (2006) found among other reasons that support for the flag was by white southerners who feel “a connection to the south” (p. 152). Supporters feel that the flag stands for freedom from an oppressive government, and that it serves to honor and remember those ancestors who died during the Civil War. Beyond that, supporters are divided again, as Martinez (2008) said, “’Heritage preservation’ traditionalists see themselves as guardians of southern inheritance of honor and chivalry while a second group of traditionalists, most notably the Ku Klux Klan, espouses racist views” (p. 200).

    No banner can be stainless, and when companies ban the Confederate flag in favor of the sale of other flags, this implies that the Confederate flag alone has any semblance of some past wrong attached to it. While Amazon, Walmart, Google Shopping and Ebay refuse to sell the Confederate flag because it can be considered racist, they do not refuse to sell the English flag, despite the fact slavery was a practice in England long before and for a much longer time than it ever was in the Confederacy, and despite the fact it too is used by a great many extremist groups, such as the hjkhkjhk, ajkljkljlk, and hkhlkjkl. In fact, in much of Europe this is so-- nearly every flag, among them that of the French, the German, the Dutch, the Swedish, and the Danish, has some long-lived wrong connected to it. Some of these endorsed slavery for just as long as the English, all of these once less-than-ideal modes of execution for less-than-guilty people, and every last one of them possesses a much, much longer history of hatred and condemnation than the Confederacy ever did. Even the flag of the United States can be construed as overwhelmingly offensive-- after all, during the Post-war Civil Rights era, the only officially sanctioned emblem used in the repression of blacks was the American

    Most understand that America was built largely on the backs of African slaves and that a civil war was fought over the right of white people to own slaves. This war began when the southern states decided to secede from the rest of the United States in order to keep their slaves; these formed their own country, the Confederate States of America, and created two flags of their own. This is one of the darker parts of American history that many would like to gloss over. The end of the civil war led to both the abolishment of slavery, and the end of the Confederacy as the involved states returned to the union. At the time the war ended, the flags of the Confederacy were mostly retired, but some of the men who had fought for the Confederacy refused
