Well the battle flag of northern Virginia and the CSA flag don't only represent a failed secession. They also represent a part of history that all Americans should remember. They represent thousands of brave people who fought and died for their beliefs of states rights, freedom, and the idea that it was their right to rise up against the federal government if they thought it to be to large/ intrusive. All of these are mentioned in the US constitution and at the time of it being written everything the CSA did would have been seen as right and justified. When the US was a new nation the states held many more rights then they do now. Back then the constitution was and I quote "like a gentlemen's club" (Gettysburg). If a group of people (states) join a gentlemen's club (nation) they can stay a part of that cub but when one of the men or a group of men start mandating (federal gov) what the other members must do when they are not in the club then the members have the right to leave the club if they please. This is how the CSA saw the constitution and it is pretty close to how the founding fathers saw it. The founding fathers saw it the same way as the CSA however they absolutely needed it in order to protect their new found nation and under no circumstance would any of the original 13 states leave the US (at that point) or else they would face probable invasion from Britain.
The whole idea that secession was the answer if a state thought the Fed. Gov. was to large began during Jackson's administration with SC threatening to secede due to a new tariff. Jackson was ready to invade the state (which probably would have been better) but Clay came up with the Missouri Compromise resulting in a prolonged solution to the problem. Due to Clay's small patch the anger in the south group to what was known as the CSA.
So going back to what I was talking about before. The whole idea that all of those that fly the Battle Flag Of Northern VA or the CSA flag are evil rebellious scum is just wrong; however, there are some that are scum. Those that use the flag as their banner for racial prejudice are off in the head but those that fly it because that was what their ancestors fought for or those that fly it to represent the freedoms and states rights those brave men fought for are not evil or racist...they are exactly the same as our for fathers. They are basically the anti-federalists of today. They believed in a belief that once inspire debate in the senate but now is seen as a racist, traitorous, satanical idea. The idea of states rights was once a widely agreed upon topic and now is never discussed. Now in order to prevent myself from continuing this rant I will finish it by saying, before you call those that fly the flag
