I'm not sure that flag offends anybody.  It's just a cloth that either A.  Represents slavery and white supremacy or  B. An antiquated, aristocratic society that that didn't have the foresight to realize that their way of life was about to be snuffed out by the Industrial Revolution.  I am not in favor of A or B, so I think that the US flag should be the only flag flying on the grounds of government buildings. If South Carolina wants it there bad enough, they should adopt it as their state flag... And let the vast majority of the country look down upon them.

I have heard for years that the Civil War was about more than slavery, but I never hear what else it was fought for.  Now and a again I hear some lame states' rights argument, but it seems to have been about states' rights to allow slavery within their borders.
