[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an immigrant and this whole rewriting of history by the winners is amazing to me. The southern states waned to be independent, just like US wanted to be independent from Britain just a hundred years prior. Americans won, so they are heroes. Southerners lost, so they are traitors, right?

And don't kid yourself - the North did not go to war to free the slaves. Lincoln did not give a flying f&#k about them. In fact, in his inaguration speech he assured the South that they would get to keep their slaves. Lincoln cared about power, and a divided America would not be as powerful, so Lincoln proceeded to burn the South to the ground to get what he wanted. [/quote]

Thank you for this. The north framed the civil war as a free the slaves movement when it was really a loot the south movement as well. The flag is a part of history and it is not all about slaves. There were not that many slaves in the first place. It is a groin issue that is always used to stir people up. [/quote]
