sites appropriate for use by high schoolers, I hope you will share them with

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

learn about specifics.

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.
