me at [log in to unmask] I know that those in favor of wearing the symbol
will talk about Southern Heritage, and I would especially like any help for
the cons on how this symbol has been used or involved in hate crimes, etc.
in the past. I know it has, in general, but I would like to see the kids

Dear Anne:
For an academic and historical look at the evolution of the flag during the
Civil War era check out <A HREF="http://www.confederateflags.org/">
confederateflags.org</A>. All of the contributors who work gratis have impressive
historical, museum and preservation credentials. The website gives the historical
reasons for the various flags and is primarily oriented at the CW era only.
