I'm sorry, but I can't respect a flag that people carried into battle for a cause that, if fully realized, would have resulted in a separate slave nation. It's true that there's more to the Civil War than just slavery, but I could never feel pride waving a flag representing a society condoning such a barbaric practice.

Also...could anybody clear up for me why many people display the Confederate Flag next to the American Flag? I mean...The Confederate Flag represents a group of people who wanted OUT of the Union. Sure, many modern Confederate Flag wavers feel pride for the South AND the U.S. but one flag represents a complete opposition to the other.
