the modern confederate flag is a modified version of the flags the confederates displayed during war. the one we’re most familiar with was popularized and displayed in response to 50s/60s civil rights action. it’s LITERALLY a symbol of white nationalism + visceral anti-blackness.
but ... so is the american flag :) so :))))))))))))))))))))) and if im bein real one crack wayyyy harder than the other and it’s not the one that invokes rage in the average aware citizenpic.twitter.com/nsKVP5OF0q

my point here is that the confederate flag we all know and recognize is undeniably representative of white supremacist solidarity so arguing what the civil war was about with prideful southerners is basically just a derailing cuz really you don’t even have to go back that far
