As I said, to call it an enemy flag, is to call 11 states of the US, and 100 million Americans, enemies. This is bigotry against a large region of the US, and you are the bigot.[/QUOTE]
Sorry when they took up arms against the USA, renouncing their citizenship in order to kill hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, as well as women and children, that made them the enemy.
Yes it is. That rebellion against the US had a lot of people. As for the number, remember only about 1.3% of the people in the south voted for secession. It was done by leaders without a popular vote across almost all states.
And they made it clear why those leaders were breaking away. To protect and expand the institution of race based slavery.
So yes, when that flag flew for one purpose, to oppose the Stars and Stripes of the USA on the battlefield, that made it the flag of America's enemy.
No re-writing of history will ever change that.
