Something people are missing about that flag. I do 100% understand that it caries a lot of Negative thoughts and feelings with it because historically people have said the flag and the separation were for Slavery.
And yes that was one of the points of the break of the union but it was also for the idea of freedom and Autonomy from the Feds to have the RIGHT to have slaves and have the RIGHT to have state laws that either made it Legal or not.
