105. I'll bet you live in a state that has the Confederate flag flying above the statehouse.

On edit:

Here are the two flags most associated with the Confederate rebellion--the Stars and Bars and the Rebel Battle Flag





Here's Texas's flag, which looks a lot like the Stars and Bars



Here's North Carolina's flag



Here's the new and the old Georgia state flag



1956 Georgia state flag



Alabama state flag (which is virtually identical to Florida's state flag)



Mississippi state flag combines BOTH the Stars and Bars and the Rebel battle flag

Good thing it's all ancient history from ten generations ago . . . (sarcasm)
