Reminder that the modern display of the Confederate flag was a response to the Civil Rights movement in the 50s/60s.
Like, South Carolina began flying the flag at the state capitol in 1962, nearly 100 years after the Civil War.
It is a symbol of racism, unquestionably.
Mississippi adopted that flag due to Lost Cause beliefs. The Lost Cause is about as valid as Holocaust Denial.
I never really understood what the Lost Cause was.
What exactly is it? I know it's about the South and the Civil Wae, but what exactly it is never seemed clear.
