Confederate Battle Flag

[TNF]

The flag symbolizes the Confederacy and the cause that it championed: slavery.

That said, I wouldn't argue that those who fly the flag today actually support the restoration of the Confederacy or slavery. There's little evidence to support that. The flag was used as a symbol of resistance in the 1960s and 1970s to federal efforts at integration. In that regard, it's use was obviously quite reactionary and racist in nature. Today, however, I would argue that most people who still fly the flag or who keep it, or wear clothes with the flag on them are doing so in no relation to the racial conflicts of the past. That isn't to say that there aren't those that do just that (the various Southern hate groups attest to that), but it is instead to say that for most people who fly that flag, it's a cultural symbol or a symbol of personal defiance.

Don't you mean this?

Nah, that still has the union jack. Ultimately all flags should be replaced by the scarlet banner though, yes.
