The unlucky number 13; this refers to the 13 stars that run along the blue "X" in the flag, which are all those southern states. Two of them do not apply, but are unnecessarily included: Maryland and Kentucky. They're not Southern states.

that flag is the naval flag of the Confederacy, but any way if its racist cause the kkk carries it look at a pic of a klan march ,they carry the US flag to so is it racist too ,and by the way lincon invade the south , the south didn't invade the north and he wanted their cotton money and it does not matter that Lee surrendered cause only the president can surrender troops and idiot from kentucky the yankees from kansas ivaded your state and half your state supported the confederacy thats why it has a star on the confederate flag so if its racist your states racist, do some research before you talk about something you know nothing about
90% of free slaves fought under the rebel flag for the CSA or stayed in the south to help the CSA and none of the main generals of the Confederacy believed in slavery

If you ever see someone fly this flag it means that that that person is a redneck and that that person is proud of their southern heritage. It does not, however, mean that that person is a racist.

The rebel flag was the flag of the Confederate States of America. A lot of people are offended by rebel flags because they believe they symbolize racism. Quite the contrary. I like rebel flags, but I am not racist. The Civil War erupted over states' rights, not slavery. The South was mostly people in favor of states' rights, and the North was mostly people who wanted the national government to have more power over the states. Please, learn your history before you judge.
The rebel flag symbolizes states' rights.

the rebel flag, also known as the confederate flag, has nothing to do with racism. yes the klan, skin heads, and other white supremeness groups use the flag but they are the ones that gave the flag a bad name.
the flag was originally created to be the battle flag of the C.S.A. after they broke away from the union.
the war everyone knows about about, the civil war, was the main battle where the flag was flown.
the civil war was over alot more than just slavery. fact general lee didnt even own a slave but the northern generals did. fact the south freed their slaves before the north. fact the slaves that were freed joined the confederate army willingly and were proud to fight with us. fact the us flag had more slavery under it than the confederate flag. fact some black people fly the confederate flag too.
there is more to the confederate flag than just what is pro-trade.
