[Tom Allen]

Unfortunately it is a given that many of the people who display the Confederate Flag are racist. I personally grew up in a racist little redneck town in rural pennsylvania. You must remember though that not all these flag owners are racist. I’ve learned through my small town experience that some of these people simply believe in a state’s rights. Many people are also fascinated with the history that is the civil war, and display the flags as a representation of their hobby. Slavery wasn’t even the biggest issue in the war, the main cause in fact was the battle for power between state and federal governments. General James Longstreet of the Confederacy was once quoted as saying ‘we should have freed the slaves before we ever fired on Sumpter.’
