Maybe so, but I was referring to some of the hate groups out West etc. that use the flag "flap" as a symbol of hate and have never even been to the South!
I've also wondered about the blacks who display the Confederate flag out of respect for the blacks who served in that Army because from what I understand about that time period is very little record keeping was kept on blacks, so the only "real evidence" they have is word of mouth...
"No accurate record has been kept of black units that served the South, since most of them were state militia and never mustered into the Confederate Army."
