All of it.

The only place any of it should legally be allowed to appear is in HS history books, and the lessons taught in it should be the actual pre-1890s history before the Daughters of the Confederacy got their grimy little snake-hands on all of the local school boards throughout the South and blackmailed textbook manufacturers into producing what they demanded (aka eliminating the concept of separate "California" and "Texas" history books; don't let a single Southern state influence the process).

It is a common misconception that the Confederacy is about slavery. That is simply not the case. It's about state rights and reducing the power of the federal government. I do not support slavery, but I don't support massive bureaucratic federal governments either. A confederate system is far more efficient and allows states to be more tailored to the desires of the people of those states.

LOL - history would like to have a word with you. Plenty of states outright said it was about slavery in their declarations of causes of secession - all within the first few sentences, no less.
