"The Confederate flag also is used in celebration of the brave men who fought on the losing side, many of whom died during the War. They have just as much right to be remembered by their descendants as those who fought on the Union side."

1. The Confederate flag used today is the battle flag of the Confederacy resurrected in 1954 by George Wallace. The original Confederate secessionist flag of South Carolina was a single white star on a blue field. 2. The losing side were supporters of slavery. They have a right to be remembered as racists and traitors to the unification of the United States. 3. In the African-American community the Confederate flag is comparable to the swastika. 4. Nathan Bedford Forrest is infamous in his brutal attacks on Black people as Hitler's minions did against the Jews.
