1. This article is demeaning to the Confederates. They talk about the Confederates as if they were not even U.S. citizens, while they were just as much a part of the United States as the Union was. Even though the morals of the South are considered unjust in today's society and the Union prevailed overall, doesn't mean that the Confederates were bad. There is always two sides to the argument.
2. I disagree with the author on many levels.
3. People associate the flag with slavery and racial tension, rather than a side in the Civil War. They use it as a symbol for racist pride almost, and the connotations have stuck with it.
