You wouldn't want to see a Nazi flag on a grave. Why would anyone want a Confederate Battle Flag there? To commemorate Rebel soldiers seems an exercise in futility and belies this distasteful heritage. The Daughters of the Confederacy seems like an organization to enable the tradition of Southern bigotry. You might as well have a faction of a Nazi woman's organization.

The meaning of the American Civil War was clear. 1. To abolish the Southern custom of slavery and 2. To preserve the Union which we today call the U.S.

Any defense of Southern Confederate "values" is a total whitewash of history.
