I think the flag has evolved into a southern pride symbol from what it was. A prof was explaining how objects and symbols evolve in their meanings and such- I was only paying slight attention, he had other examples but I do t remember them. Not saying it’s right or wrong just what he tried explaining. I shoulda paid more attention in that class and others 🤣

Mind you the Confederates would’ve called them carpet baggers and burned their farm to the ground.

The confederacy was fighting to keep African Americans in the country, Lincoln wanted to send them to Liberia (voluntarily, not forced repatriation). When Johnson became president, he obviously was sympathetic to the south so he wanted them to remain to be sharecroppers. Had Lincoln remained president for four or even eight more years, there could be a lot less African Americans in the country now had Lincoln’s plan been successful… and that would make Nick Fuentes happy.

unfortunately not good enough when they were never part of the south or confederation and SO many of them didn’t even live or have family from there first

The Virginia museum of history and culture in Richmond has some good displays about this. Basically that “southern pride” was a deliberate effort by the Daughters of the Confederacy to glorify their racist bs

Me when I generalize the entire southern population and say they’d burn a northern farm down. You can dislike them for their stance on slavery which is 100% true, they should’ve lost and I’m glad they did. But not all southerners felt this way. And before you whine I’m sympathizing I’m not, I’m a history major. I’m telling you the truth

Lmao not them downvoting you but not actually giving a why. People are so clueless these days about history. Ofc the confederacy was terrible. But generalizing the entire population is stupid

Yeah, and also southern schools are among the least educated still and it’s created a bit of a vacuum in upholding problematic systemic racial beliefs. My foster dad was born in Ohio and then moved to Mississippi in the third grade until hs. He still has a fondness and the accent but he wouldn’t go back to live there bc of the tension. It’s a beautiful scenic area but unfortunately systemically neglected even still today for its issues in race discrimination /economic development/etc.
