• Be aware that the Confederate flag can be controversial. To some, it is a proud symbol of the South but to others it is a reminder of the shame of slavery and racial segregation. The confederate flag has been used as a symbol by the KKK and other hate groups so it is not surprising that some Americans are offended by it.

• If you are offended by this symbol, don't assume it is a hate symbol. To many, the flag is a symbol of pride and heritage and they may not view the flag in the same way you do.

• Many confederate supporters feel that this flag symbolizes an opinion that states rights are more important than national rights.

• Please remember to respect the symbol that is this flag. People may become offended if you disrespect it- generally, try to treat it with as much respect as you treat the current American flag. Remember, this was one of the flags used by the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and thousands of people died painfully for what it stood for.
