Fuck you faggot, the men who fought under that flag were resisting the same federal tyranny fucking you over right now, and had more balls and spine between them than the entirety of your evolutionary ancestry going all the way back to pond scum. The war wasn't about slavery, there were still niggers owned as property in northern states a year after the south surrendered, and the Emancipation Proclamation, which supposedly freed slaves, only applied to southern states.... despite the author of the document having no jurisdiction there. The entire slavery angle is optics you stupid fuck. Pick up a book.
