'm not southern, I'm not American, I'm actually Egyptian. Even toug I'm here to defend the comfederacy and show the lies people are told about it.
Most Americans are told that comfederate flag is about racism and slavery, while historically that's completely wrong. If the war had anything to do with slavery it's the northerns enslaving the southerners.
I don't deny that this flag was sometimes misused by neo nazis, but they're just misusing it.
•the civil war didn't start because of slavery, it started because the union was overtaxing the south. They had something called the mirol tax. Up to 47% of income of southerners.
•only 5 to 6% of the south owned slaves
•it's written in the constitution that any state can become independent, however Lincoln didn't respect that and attacked the south.
•slavery had nothing to do with racism, the first slave owner in America was black owning blacks.
•not all the comfederates were white Europeans, some Indians fought with the confederacy, some blacks fought with the comfederacy.
•general Lee was opposed to slavery, and most of the south was. While in fact the next president after Lincoln had negro slaves in the White House.
•some blacks like this man in the picture support the comfederacy and preach that it's for heritage not hate. There was blacks, and Indians in the comfederacy.
•the south didn't attack an army fort, they offered them 30 days to leave, they said they will but they didn't so they decided to attack the fort. No one died except one man, who was standing near an explosive barrel.
•I'm not southern, I'm Christian, and that X on the Dixie flag is a Christian symbol. That's the cross of saint Andrew.
The war on the south was a war on CHRISTIANITY. southerners were religious Christians. They built many churches and preached the gospel.
This flag for me is a symbol of liberty, it's the same reason Americans fought Britain to get their independence. But the union's tyranny is not shown in history because winners history.
