Re: The "Rebel" Flag

I thought the civil war was about states rights.

But the 'rebel flag was originally a battle flag but was incorporated by the KKK as their flag of choice. I think the KKK was started by an ex-confederate soldier if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, I believe that most people associate the rebel flag to the KKK rather than a battle flag of the confederate and thereby rendering it a 'racist' symbol.
