@texpeare... The U.S Supreme Court in 1866-67 Determined that Confederates Were NOT traitors Because They only did what Our Founders did In 1776... So How could that be treason?? It Wasn't. Read a Book. Dumbass!!
I am white, from the south, and my ancestors owned slaves I have pictures of the plantation we used to own and the slaves we had at the time. I was born and raised in the south and have grown in southern culture and can tell you unequivocally that it’s both!! MY HERITAGE IS HATE!! Just like modern day German peoples don’t choose there heritage I didn’t choose mine. And to be anything but ashamed of our history when you look at that flag is wrong. Those flags(including the Nazi flag) represented treason, hate, and ignorance.
No it is not both it's a just a cultural heritage symbol only an ignorant full thinks the flag is a symbol of hate and I was raised and grew up in the southern culture. Trying to compare the rebel flag to the Nazi flag is like trying to compare wise people to foolish people it's impossible. Because the rebel flag is not no representation to treason,hate more to ignorance.
I am educated. I am white and experience white privilege. I am a Civil War living historian and defended the flag. Georgia and Tennessee, at the May 1787 Constitutional Convention insisted that slavery in the states be protected- otherwise they would not have signed the document. This was 70 years before secession. Slavery was protected in the Confederate Constitution. The “cause” included slavery. Whether your Southern ancestors had slaves or even supported slavery is not the issue nor is what the Confederate flag symbolizes to you personally. The South wanted to add new “slave states” during the U.S. expansion to the west. The flag is tainted with the stigma of slavery. It is a heritage that includes racism- which cannot be separated. Freedom of speech protects it. Ignorance defends only one aspect of it. No shame in having an ancestry, just the actions and white supremacist beliefs were wrong then and wrong today. If this offends you the look it up yourself.

I know my history. I think the flag represents both hate and heritage depending on the peoole flying it. I know hicks from Cakifornia who fly it. They're not from the south. How is that heritage? But I also understand the southern culture of resistance against government tyranny. In my life I've met ONE person who sported that flag who wasn't racist. All the other I ever met were racist. When the reality is is that flag is more often sported by racists than it is by people who actually understand the history of Southern heritage, it's gonna be perceived as a racist symbol. You also have to acknowledge the reality that the confederacy NEVER supported the abolition of slavery. The north did. For a the wrong reasons, but still. If the south had won the war, slavery would've persisted. To understand that and expect black people to not take issue with that flag is a little ridiculous.
If the south would of won slavery would of still died off heck slavery was already dying under the confederacy way before the war even started. If one would actually studied actual history one would know that the south was getting rid of slavery slowly so it wouldn't hurt the southern economy as by the time the civil war broke out their was only 1% of slaves left in the south few years before the war the % was much higher. And President Davis said in his own words if I can prevent a war by freeing all slaves I would president Davis also mentioned he wanted slavery to the natural way because if they would end slavery all at once it would of effected our economy in a negative way. Plus during the confederate era their was a few northern states that had slavery so and slavery didn't really end in the north under Lincoln as the north force black folks to work in factories where they didn't even get paid half the time and when they did get paid they was only given a penny and hour not enough to live off of blacks was also given a curfew in the northern states and was force to live in rundown homes their are records where these northern factories would beat black workers if they didn't work fast enough their are also records of black workers even dying from being beaten to death in those factories by their bosses yet you won't learn this in history class as our government wants to keep these facts all hush hush you have to really look for this information to find it.
@@SouthernRebels94 Slavery wasn't dying under the Confederacy at all. It was at its peak in 1860 when they seceded; the number of slaves increased by about 25% from 1850 to 1860 (per federal US census data). When they seceded, they stated slavery was the primary reason why. Their constitution had specific articles protecting slavery at the federal level. In your own words, Davis held the economy over the lives of millions of slaves, which is reprehensible.

Our salvation and not the removal of a Robert Edward Lee monument (object) is more precious and valuable to our God. This is what he cares about because from the beginning of our time our nation and this earth (national and international) were never exempt from evil, destruction, and suffering if we consider global politics (U.S. | Foreign Policy, U.S. | International Relations), and world history we might have a perspective that sees past a flag. Countries, states, nations, cities, tribes, factions, etc., all have flags. What is gained or accomplished today besides money being printed, spent, and inflation on a rise in this country and to now pay for these expenses. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ was required to give us a chance to reach God and heaven. We as humans are incapable of salvation, otherwise. We should try to focus on serving God, others, and being more Christ like. I question what kind of message this sends to our citizens as our culture changes and evolves. Do we start to change and remove any building, bridge, statue, flag, street, park, etc., going forward if deemed offensive? Who decides? We are a large nation, very populated, and to do so will be expensive. Is it worth it, spending U.S. dollars to remove statues and monuments when there’s war and conflict in other countries and where the standard of living is developing, third world and impoverished? Lastly, we have our own poverty issue in this country. We should spend money on improving and addressing those concerns.
@@austin7489 no body fought and died to keep slaves damn people are so ignorant and stupid these days the civil war was about the north abusing their power and taking advantage of the southern folks over charging us with taxes and such the southern folks wanted to be left alone and Lincoln wasn't gonna allow it and forced us into war.

Those confederate statues were made to honor those who had died fighting for their land and families died fighting for independence from Northern aggression I'm so sick of hearing ignorant uneducated comments and remarks from people like you.

@@austin7489the confederates didn’t fight for slaves, only the richer upper class did, but the lower class was getting taxed unfairly by the north so they exercised their rights to secede from the union and form a government of their own, that’s what the war majorly was abt
The Confederate Flag is not about Heritage, here are my reasons why. 1). If you want to bring Heritage into the matter just fly a American flag because THAT IS YOUR HERITAGE. not the CONFEDERATE FLAG. The C.S.A. (Confederate States of America) was brief republic that didn't even stand independent for 5 years. 2). The Confederate Flag represents rebels against the United States the Confederate Flag was flying when rebels where battling against the American Army in the Civil War so basically those people are rebels.
America has many flags not just the US flag. From historical to current, Canada to Argentina. The Confederate flag an American flag 1. It’s part of North America and 2. It has the name confederate state of America. 3. You have no right to tell other people what their heritage is or which symbols they can choose to represent their heritage. 4. This government was founded by rebels and traitors. Even to this day we fight and rebel against the government. If we believed to something that is unconstitutional then we fight the government in court to make them change it.
You’ve gotta take into consideration the north was taxing the south unfairly and only the richer upper class fought for slaves, the poorer class of people fought for states rights to secede from the union and form their own government so they would stop getting taxed more heavily than the north, cause at the time the majority of the lower classes didn’t own slaves and were dirt poor farmers, that’s heritage.
Theres nothing like seeing those stars and bars flying give them hell redneck brothers and sisters from a Tennessee redneck i love the rebel flag and the American flag they both make me proud to live in America

No it's a reminder of breaking away from the greedy union tyranny. And you know the only reason the south lost was because Lincoln sent his men into the confederate camps to steal their food source and sent union soldiers into the confederate villages to burn down all of the southern crops and homes starve the confederate people in order to weaken them which by the way wasn't even a fair fight. The only reason Lincoln sent union soldiers to burn down the villages and farms and such was because the south was winning the war and Lincoln new if the south won we would become our own nation and the union will no longer be able to make money off of the south Lincoln was afraid of loosing money that greedy loser.

This is what he cares about because from the beginning of our time our nation and this earth (national and international) were never exempt from evil, destruction, and suffering if we consider global politics (U.S. | Foreign Policy, U.S. | International Relations), and world history we might have a perspective that sees past a flag. Countries, states, nations, cities, tribes, factions, etc., all have flags. What is gained or accomplished today besides money being printed, spent, and inflation on a rise in this country and to now pay for these expenses.
The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ was required to give us a chance to reach God and heaven. We as humans are incapable of salvation, otherwise. We should try to focus on serving God, others, and being more Christ like.
I question what kind of message this sends to our citizens as our culture changes and evolves. Do we start to change and remove any building, bridge, statue, flag, street, park, etc., going forward if deemed offensive? Who decides? We are a large nation, very populated, and to do so will be expensive. Is it worth it, spending U.S. dollars to remove statues and monuments when there’s war and conflict in other countries and where the standard of living is developing, third world and impoverished?
Lastly, we have our own poverty issue in this country. We should spend money on improving and addressing those concerns.
Why should we keep statues of people who fought to keep slaves? Is that what we want to honor as a country?
@@austin7489 no body fought and died to keep slaves damn people are so ignorant and stupid these days the civil war was about the north abusing their power and taking advantage of the southern folks over charging us with taxes and such the southern folks wanted to be left alone and Lincoln wasn't gonna allow it and forced us into war. The flag nor does those Statues have nothing to do with slavery. Those confederate statues were made to honor those who had died fighting for their land and families died fighting for independence from Northern aggression I'm so sick of hearing ignorant uneducated comments and remarks from people like you. Being stupid does not make you look good it only makes you look more like a fool then you already do.
@@austin7489the confederates didn’t fight for slaves, only the richer upper class did, but the lower class was getting taxed unfairly by the north so they exercised their rights to secede from the union and form a government of their own, that’s what the war majorly was abt
The Confederate Flag is not about Heritage, here are my reasons why. 1). If you want to bring Heritage into the matter just fly a American flag because THAT IS YOUR HERITAGE. not the CONFEDERATE FLAG. The C.S.A. (Confederate States of America) was brief republic that didn't even stand independent for 5 years. 2). The Confederate Flag represents rebels against the United States the Confederate Flag was flying when rebels where battling against the American Army in the Civil War so basically those people are rebels.
America has many flags not just the US flag. From historical to current, Canada to Argentina. The Confederate flag an American flag 1. It’s part of North America and 2. It has the name confederate state of America. 3. You have no right to tell other people what their heritage is or which symbols they can choose to represent their heritage. 4. This government was founded by rebels and traitors. Even to this day we fight and rebel against the government. If we believed to something that is unconstitutional then we fight the government in court to make them change it.
If any flags are treasonous then it would be that of BLM banners and flags.
@@jjs777fzr I don't remember BLM and gay flags leaving the Union for trying to own slaves. The confederate flag is treason
@@lestat1591 if it is about heritage, then my guy, your heritage is hate
Simple as that
You’ve gotta take into consideration the north was taxing the south unfairly and only the richer upper class fought for slaves, the poorer class of people fought for states rights to secede from the union and form their own government so they would stop getting taxed more heavily than the north, cause at the time the majority of the lower classes didn’t own slaves and were dirt poor farmers, that’s heritage.

I think they need to leave both of Confederate flag and all the Confederate monuments alone
The confederate flags shouldn’t be banned but the statues should be taken down and put in a museum. They were erected by the daughters of the confederacy to push the lost cause myth so why should they remain. No one’s learning history from a 30ft tall statue of lee
For me, the Confederate Flag is the symbol of the fight of Southerners to preserve and save their way of life, their culture and their Homeland, General LEE is the best example ; an entire career in the Union Army, but back to the Dixie's Army to defend his Virginia !

@@SouthernRebels94 my bad I was in a movie I forgot to show you this quote from one of the founders of the confederacy "Our new government was founded on slavery.

that slavery, submission to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition."
-Alexander Stephens

I respect other people's cultures and heritage and all I ask if people would do the same in return and respect my culture and heritage.

Its a reminder betraying the union and lost
No it's a reminder of breaking away from the greedy union tyranny. And you know the only reason the south lost was because Lincoln sent his men into the confederate camps to steal their food source and sent union soldiers into the confederate villages to burn down all of the southern crops and homes starve the confederate people in order to weaken them which by the way wasn't even a fair fight. The only reason Lincoln sent union soldiers to burn down the villages and farms and such was because the south was winning the war and Lincoln new if the south won we would become our own nation and the union will no longer be able to make money off of the south Lincoln was afraid of loosing money that greedy loser.
