Those who choose to fly a flag be it "Old Glory", "The Bonnie Blue", "The Gadsden", or the "Confederate Battle Flag" do so because that flag means something to them.
Stealing a Confederate Battle Flag is just nonsense and an affront to those brave men who gave their lives in defense of their states, homes, and beliefs.
Even Lincoln showed his admiration for the Confederate soldiers for the valor and bravery they displayed on the field of battle.
Interestingly enough do you realize that by disrespecting those men you're disrespecting all US veterans? By an act of congress all CSA soldiers are considered American vets and the US government even paid their pensions and for the headstones of those who died.
They fought for freedom and states rights over that of an overreaching federal government. Slavery was not even an issue for the actual war until England and Europe were feared to join the Confederacy and Lincoln as a strategic move injected slavery into the situation to sour the public sentiment of doing so.
Before the war Lincoln even offered the South a 13th amendment declaring they could keep their slaves and yet the war came.
Robert E. Lee was awarded slaves that were left to him upon a family members passing and he freed them while U.S. Grant held slaves before, during, and after the war.
You can stand by whatever argument you wish and I'll stand by the love of the Confederacy.
Do I support slavery?
No I believe slavery is a horrible stain on the fabric of a great nation and doomed to be eliminated since it's inception. The only difference we have between races is a little pigment and like it or not we're all the same otherwise. So get over it already.
