The Confederate Flag is a symbol of American history that cannot be changed or ignored. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves and was signed in 1863. Instead of claiming that the flag is a symbol of hate, EDUCATING those who have been misguided into believing the Confederate Flag is a representative of hate and teaching them that the Confederate States were the first to abolish slavery would be the obvious answer to this issue. Taking away lifelong icons of our history is absolutely fallacious and should be not be a legal practice.
