The flag represents a past era of southern sovereignty. Had it been without slavery, people from the south would still like and respect that flag. Fact.

I am referring to the "stainless banner" which is a derivative:

"The second national flag of the Confederacy, also known as the "Stainless Banner", which Thompson and Confederate blockade runner William Ross Postell helped to design"

And if it is true that the confederate battle flag "represents a past era of southern sovereignty", then why aren't there significant numbers of Southern blacks who fly that flag? They are part of the South as well.
