In the campgrounds there are so many different flags that one does not stand out. There are a few of the driver's flags I would like for them to protest while they are at it. I really don't like them being flown in my presence.

The "advancement for colored people."? RACIST. Also, if people did research, the Confederate Flag is not a symbol of hate. Lincoln owned a slave, and was hesitant to free them. And the South seceded from the Union because of Lincoln taxing the imports that the South got for their mills and businesses. The highest tax ever by a President: 40%.

In 2010 start & finish the season at Dayton. They are assuming that everyone that flies The Confederate Flag is racist, IMO this is just one right being stripped from us all. How many organized groups are we going allow to take our rights because it offends them.

The flag in question these days is the Confederate Battle Flag. It was only carried into battle starting in December of 1861. It did not exist until after the United States Army attacked the ex-states. So defending yourself from the U. S.
