Symbol of slavery? That flag is symbol of free South, rebellion etc. Saying it is a symbol of slavery is like saying it is a symbol of southern hospitality or southern food, or whatever else is/was in south. Slavery was just one of the things in south, why emphasize that one?

Seriously who could even think that most of the people who wave that flag in South is waving it to bring back (or of respect to) slavery... Ridiculous. Unless you take absolute minority extremists who wave it for the wrong reasons and base your opinion on that..
