The issue isn't even exactly the memory of the Confederacy is it, so much as the fact that that memory (or more specifically the memory of its crushing) was used to legitimise the Jim Crow era. This is why the military flag is the iconic one and not the flag of the short-lived state.

Braxton Bragg (not only a Confederate, but a loser, and one who has a U. S. military base inexplicably named after him)

Perhaps it's a sly joke?
