The Confederate Flag is a symbol of Treason...

The Confederate flag has always stood for treason to me.  The Confederate Government and Confederate Army stood for the destruction of the United States Declaration of Independence, The destruction of the American Constitution, and  contempt for Black People, Freedom, and all men being equal. And it led to the slaughter of 600,000 Americans.  We are free in America to burn the US flag, which implies that it is legal to burn the Confederate flag also.  I do not advocate flag burning. Burning symbols is only to anger those who have an emotional investment in the symbol being burnt. And angering someone is a waste of time and petty. I do believe the Confederacy were traitors and hope our history starts telling all of us, especially people who are still emotionally invested in loosing that war, that the citizens of the Union were loyal to America, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the citizens of the Confederacy were not loyal to those ideals.
