Confederate pride: Why? (LTTE)
... It ticks me off because the Civil War was against slavery and states' rights, and in our nation, no matter what color your skin is, one has no right to own another person and his free will. So, tell me, a white person whose ancestors served in every war and died on the Union side, why some people need to wave this flag in my face and tick me off, and why they are so proud of that.http://triblive.com/opinion/letters/9008757-74/ticks-confederate-flag#axzz3kXiiIBve
