I’ve always maintained the current Confederate flag used as a symbol of racism. Many people claim it is a symbol of states rights and has nothing to do with race. But the current Confederate flag was not used during the Civil War, it is the flag adopted by the “Dixiecrats” to promote segregation and Jim Crow laws nearly a hundred years after the war had ended.
If proud Southerners want to wave a flag to represent their history of states rights, why don’t they use the original Confederate flag; the one used during the war? Why are they waving the one adopted by the Dixiecrats to promote segregation?
