The powers that be don't care if anyone knows what happened, and it has nothing to do with the rebel flag being demonized.
I don't agree with all of the powers granted in the Reconstruction Acts, but many parts of the Acts were necessary. the south lost the War and there are consequences for that. Just like the way the Nazi's were removed from power after Germany lost WWII.
Claiming that the Reconstructions Acts "declared war" is just silly.
