I've tried to point out the differences between what is "recorded" history and what is now known of the truth of the matter. You'd be surprised how many truly understand what did happen during the Civil War.<BR/><BR/>I can empathise with those who feel strong negative emotions to the CBF. I think they have a valid concern,considering that the CBF has been coopted by various racists movements. I also don't believe that proud southernors want this negative connotation by association,so many do not fly it.<BR/><BR/>I think the National Flag of the Confederacy is much more appropriate for severl reasons. Not being a "battle standard",it leaves the battlefield behind.

Myself, I have in my ancestry people who fought on both sides of that bloody conflict. And truly,I can say without qualm that I have pride in all of them.
