First you stated this.

So I then stated this.  Note I was only commenting on the bolded part  (Which is why bolded it in the first place), and made no comment on the confederate flag.

what are you saying?

So you'll have to excuse me as to how you came to this conclusion?  But since we're here, no it shouldn't be eradicated history.  But, also, it should not be flown from government buildings.


Back to my original point though.  You should brush up on the "how's" and "why's" the Civil war started. You're partially correct on states rights, But very far off on the slavery issue.
