You beat me too it, if memory serves me correct they changed their flag in the early 1900s.

Interesting, thank you.

Interesting, thank you.

There are some states in the United States that have the Confederate Battle Flag embedded. All have interesting histories as to why, how and when. And the Confederate Battle Flag also represents, IMHO, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Others will undoubtedly disagree on what it represents, today.

Seems like the flag is under some pressure based on this article.

Mississippi, the only state with a Confederate symbol in its flag, is offering a new flag design on license plates - CNN

Tribute to Bo & Luke Duke of Hazzard County?

It was the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. By itself as displayed today, it never officially represented the CSA, though it was incorporated in different aspect ratios on some CSA flags.

What it DID represent versus what it DOES represent is the issue.

....but that's true with any symbol.

That's the problem with it. Around me, the only people I see displaying it are true rednecks in every sense of the term. I wish it could be restricted to recognized historical sites like National and State parks, monuments, battlefields and cemeteries, but that's unlikely to happen.
