CONFEDERATE FLAG

SOUTH

Being born and raised in the South, I don't understand what the big deal is about the Confederate flag. It was a flag flown in a particular time in our history, just as Old Glory was flown as a sign of rebellion against England during the Revolutionary war. Just because a group decides to use it to show their hate, doesn't make it a bad thing.

I used to see a this painting someone did on this huge rock slab on the way to Wetupka where a Confederate flag was painted and under it was written, "Its about heritage, not hate." Just as most of us are proud to be Americans, some of us are proud to be southerners.
