No . And I will tell you why I think they shouldn't , that flag is a sign of history . 10 states didn't have Lincoln on there ballot , for them it was like they lived in another world than those in the north . The flag of the was designed when they sececed from the union something the US gov't refused to recognise . It was not just a sign of racism and slavery , it was a sign of a huge group of people who felt under-represented by the federal gov't who and they desided to seperate themselves from it for a variable of reasons . Some fought by force others by choice . The majority didn't own slaves and many didn't fight for anything to do with slavery . They fought for a freedom and way of life free from a US gov't that those in the north would never understand . So many died on both sides , it is a time in our nations past that should not be forgotten and those that fought under the Confederate flag should also be remembered .
I myself have to wonder what attitudes about the American flag will be 140 yrs from now . Times change quickly and attitudes do also as we are all coming to realize by current events . There are those in power right now who already see it as a sign of war and American exceptionalism that should not be and that our country was unjustly formed . I honestly believe that this same conversation concerning the good ol' red , white and blue , the war monuments that represent our past will take place in our country's future . Just something to think on before you go judging the stars n bars and asking for it to be removed .
IMO ,
Jen
