>But my most favorite class of all was my last class of the day when my History teacher would tell us tales of old times long gone away --- That's when I first learned about General Lee and his 13 rebel states>She said, "Class, now only a fool will tell you this flag is a symbol of hateIt represents the men who fought and diedWith pride for our Confederate States."AWas American education really like this in the 1980s?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iG3a1Gw54A&t=1s
Yes. No one gave a shit about the Confederates or their place in culture (both pop and historical) until 2016. Outside of the most extreme of Republicans in the 1870’s, no one had any problem with what the South had attempted, and the confederate flag flowed proudly over multiple battlefields all the way up through the Iraq War.NOW CAN I GET A YEE-YEE!
Demonization of the Confederacy is a result of an immigrant population disconnected from the tragedy of the great “Brother War” of old-blood America’s ancestry so to the mongrelized US population today, it was just a evil racist regime.
