A symbol that some traitors who got their asses kicked flew more than a hundred years ago, and that some rednecks fly today because they can't get over those traitors getting their asses kicked.

I think at this point we should just forget the civil war.  I can't understand why so many people still seem to be so obsessed with it.

As a Canadian, I can't claim to understand American feelings regarding the civil war

I have noticed though that Canadians kind of feel the same way about the War of 1812 as Southernors do about the Civil War. Smiley

Every history textbook in school said that the US won the War of 1812. But once I got the internet, all the Canadians I met claimed that the US lost and the British and by extension Canada was the victors.

I think most historians consider the war a stalemate though, which it largely was.

That image is from a 1995 compilation LP I have in the part of the insert from the band In/Humanity who were from South Carolina, as part of the lyrics and explanation to their song "Southern Swastika". So it was made by people in the South.
