We have gone over this before and I had posted and extensive history of the stars and bars...the meaning of the flag is entirely misconstrued and misrepresented by Southerners quite frankly. It did not exist before the Civil War, it does NOT represent Southern history of the antebellum era as many like to think. It was only a special, adhoc battle flag of war that was adopted during the war (that is it!). So, you have to ask, what proud heritage and society does it represent? Not that of antebellum or reconstruction Southerners.

The flag need not be there or represent any part of the South that was once the Confederacy.
