What the government does not realize is that the confederate flag is a symbol of history. They’re saying that the flag is a symbol of racism. African Americans died for that flag, so no is it not a symbol of racism. The flag was used from March 1861 to may 1863. The confederate flag has thirteen stars. President Barack Obama says he is against the rebel flag, but yet he is defending slavery in malaise.
