All of the arguments about The Flag and the Confederacy ultimately come back to slavery. Scratch the most genteel flyer of The Flag hard enough and some racism will reveal itself. States Rights, well what right is in contention?, Oh, the right to own slaves. Trade/tariffs? The trade in question was produced by slavery. To argue otherwise is to deny the wrongness of slavery.
