BTW that is not a "rebel" flag, it is the Confederate Battle Flag. It
was initially the Army of Northern Virginia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_Northern_Virginia> battle flag
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_flag> under General Robert E. Lee
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee>, designed by William
Porcher Miles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Porcher_Miles> then
adopted and reused later in other variants, most lately to become the
"Confederate Flag."
I do understand that in today's political climate it causes
consternation among many, mostly it seems due to appropriation by
various dumbasses to represent distasteful and hateful ideologies. One
was flown over the statehouse (our version of a lunatic asylum) here
until a coupla years ago at which time it was moved to another site, or
done away with altogether, I don't recall. It was there mostly as a big
FU to others the good ol boys thought needed reminding of the Late
Unpleasantness.

He included the text, "For those that did not understand the rebel flag
is southern History.Not racist. Proud of my history."
But why? I see no rebel flag in any of the pictures.
