    It has been taken too far and cast into a negative light only because slavery existed under this flag. However, so did many other things. How about the downfall of the CSA?

    People take offense to things to easily, and make huge issues out of nothing. People should be concentrating on our FUTURE.

    yes and no. it is because you guys werent alive when it happened and that country hated blacks and most the ppl that have confedrate r racist. kkk use the confedrate flag and all they care about is white ppl. but its not racist is because you just dont like the usa and want to be apart from the union and say your a redneck and proud.

    Of course its a racist symbol they fought for slavery and oppression, my whole family fought against them and everything they stood for! I think it should only be in a museum since its part of a lost past!

    The civil war began because the south didn't want to industrialize like the north. Legislators in the north are the ones that actually made slavery an issue. The south just wanted to be able to continue farming because that's what made them so rich. Industrializing would have ruinded that. Freeing the slaves wasn't brought up until later in the war.

    Grow up, you're not putting your little boot anywhere. The south fought AGAINST oppression. It's what the war was all about. Lincoln brought slavery into it as an issue to hide the bigger objective. Think for yourself instead of your public education canned answer. Oh, by the way, I had family on both sides, including Marse Robert.

    The fight wasn't ABOUT slavery... it was about many other things as well. Did you realize New York was a HUGE slave state??

    I think it's still used in some forms as a tool to promote racial sentiments. As long as it evolks an emotional reaction in blacks as a racial symbol, it ought to be treated as more criminal than possession of any illegal drug ever has.

    Sorry.. I was about to put undecided..but the flag existed when the southern states seceded from the Union.. partially b/c they wanted to have slaves.. every time that symbol is used it must be like a slap in the face to Black Americans..

    The Confederate flag is not a racist flag. It stands for their southern heritage . Why is so wrong for southerners to support their heritage by waving the Confederate flag?

    Their are idiots, like the KKK who uses it for hate. And the southerners should be angry at idiots like them for using the Confederate flag in such a way. I was born in the deep south and I like the Confederate flag, because of my southern heritage.
