Not even kidding
I'm in New York
I've even seen someone hang their confederate flag in front of their house
They're still relevant?
Probably not the only thing hanging in their yard
The Hell is a confederate?
2 different things
Either someone proud of their southern heritage
Or someone who hates niggers
Youll learn in school in a year or two lol
kek
Confederate flag has multiple meanings
After what I just heard about them, I'm not too sure if I want to know.
Not all confederates are racist though
Most people who fly them are not racists
Just keep that in mind
Okay, guess I should be open to learning about 'em.
Basically, in the latter half of the 19th century in the US, the northern region and southern region were really divided, the south was pro racism and the north were abolitionist.
The south was under-represented in politics
Is that what you call 'the civil war'?
Ah, I think I've heard a little about it.
The south seceded from the US, forming their own country
The Confederate states of America
But my knowledge came from South Park, so it's probably not accurate.
Essentially the US is a federation
Kids already watching south park
Lol
And the Confederate states were a confederation, which means the states have more control over themselves
And the federal government is weak
I love that show. It's bloody hilarious.
Where as in a federation, the federal government is more powerful
Yeah it's pretty funny
Okay, so they separated into two different countries, and they separated again, but into sovereign states.
No, only once they seperated
Then the civil war happened and after the union one they came back
South lost the war
Oh, that makes more sense.
I think it's kind of bullshit though
America wanted representation and Britain didn't give them any, so they did a revolution
The south wasn't being represented near as much as the north
