time for my 11 cents, that is a "battle flag" not the confederate flag, the original agreed upon confed flag was "big red" until all seceded states wanted there own flags and so they came together and had a contest to make a new flag, the original version of that flag they DENIED because they said it looked like britches

in the end there were almost 25 - 26 "confedered flags" the only real reason that one got popular was because of a "rebel" somthin protest that i don't member the name of but the original flag was big red. if hanks wanted a racist profile pic find Sherman holding big red. thats as racist as it gets. but maybe not even sherman so many feared southern soldiers and even then there was the kkk along with many other people that could be worse. and adding on to that most people don't even know lee its like how people think he and grant ended the war with a handshake. that is not how that happened.

but people also still wave around such flags today so we telling him he cant have the flag is like taking a real life right to wave the britches "rebel" flag
