OP got bit by fake news.
Shame.
A lot of people in that war fought for tradition and independence, not slavery.
And people that use the flag probably come from families that fought in the war and possibly died.

It was over a year ago now, so unfortunately I can't say I am able to link you to the specific resources... but I went through several different accounts, and the motivations for that war seemed pretty clear.
What traditions were under threat besides slavery? What purpose did the southern states have for seeking independence, aside from the preservation of their massive slave-labor economies? Money is always at the root of these things... and there was an absolutely gargantuan amount of difference in the money to be made with or without slave labor.

Interestingly enough, this is also covered in the above linked thread

Republicans had a lot to do with oppression. Them shifting the entire blame for it to democrats is what's known as a half truths. The other half implicates them as being part of it too, which is historically proven
If you'd rather just repeat Fox News talking points go ahead, but that doesn't take the place of facts
So you’re basically saying that both parties had a lot to do with oppression equally?? Just come out and say that instead of just labeling Republicans. When you solely name Republicans and not mention the name of the other party, you’re being disingenuous.
And find me a Republican today who is oppressing anyone.

Where'd the bolded come from?
At no point did I take sides or attempt to make any group look better than the other on this issue, I just pointed out Republicans have gone to great lengths to obscure and hide the history that shows they were very involved in oppression/slavery and maintaining it, and they also have history opposing Civil Rights
It's disingenuous to claim I said something I didn't. I even clearly labeled it as half truths in my last post to you, didn't I?
And find me a Republican today who is oppressing anyone.
It's harder today for them to actually do it in the same way they could in the past but there's quite a lot of them who believe certain groups should be oppressed, though saying that it depends on what you consider oppression as I'm 100% quite a few groups would tell you they're being oppressed in one way or another

You’re wrong.
Hell, if Ilhan Omar herself was a Republican, I’d want her to run for President. Society’s biggest differences nowadays is not on what we look like, but in our politics and our beliefs. We’re tribal. Skin color and background is irrelevant and elementary.

Re: What's up with people flying Confederate flags?
The rebel flag is a symbol of being a loser since the south lost the war. People who feel like losers fly that flag to let everyone else know how they view themselves.
