The vast majority of the verbiage used in the articles of secession were just euphemisms for slavery. The secession and the war were 100% brought about by the issue of slavery and nothing else. It wasn't until after the war that the "states rights" myth started.
As far as the OP's question: the confederate flag represents a nation that was formed ONLY for the purpose of continuing the barbaric practice of slavery. I may have a cultural bias being a "yank" and all, but I really do despise that flag. Anyone who wears it or displays it is basically sporting a gigantic "I'm a douchebag" bullseye on their forehead. Slavery was wrong, the south got its ass kicked, let's get the losers flag out of US government.
