    i feel that the south has our own way of doing things but with that we still adhear to the national voice of the white house. i agree that the civil war was not in any way about races but about brother killing brother for the victory of freedom of each state from the union. I feel that the confederate flag shold be aloud to fly freely in any southern state because thouse ancestors of ours shed blood for us to have that right and we should not fear ridicule or shame when we do unfurl the rebel flag because some feel it stands for all of the racism in america but it does not stand for anything of the sort. it is our right to Southern Pride and the memories of those who fought so hard in the war to make the south become recognized. The way of life in the south is much more laid back but yet we protect our rights and hold true the steadfast qualties that were instilled in us from the very beginging.
