I also have a rebel flag tattoo; it is wrapped around a Grim Reaper. I don’t understand why everyone thinks the rebel flag stood for slavery, because it didn’t. If you would open a book and read about the Civil War, it started because the South was not getting a say in government. The South was basically like a little kid the North would listen to but not pay attention to. The rebel flag was not for slavery; it was for standing up for what you believe in. The South was trying to preserve its way of life. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree with the South having slaves, but the North brought the slaves over in the first place, so you can’t blame the South for everything. If you look at Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, it only set slaves in the Southern states free. Any state that fought with the North did not have to give up its slaves, so before you start calling the rebel flag racist or hateful, read and try to understand what was actually going on back then.
