A Symbol of Resistance since 1861 | The D.C. Clothesline
For Floridians this flag is quite similar to the one we see every day of our lives. This flag and others of similar look are associated with hate and racism. The “Rebel Flag” or “Dixie” as we call her fondly to thousands is a symbol of the southern rebel spirit. Its something that northerners will never understand, nor do we expect anyone to even try. It is a sense of pride that my ancestors stood up for what they felt what right. I agree with everything the South stood against the Union for with the exception of slavery. That is one disappointing issue that I share a heritage with. I wish that Jefferson and Adams had succeeded in abolishing slavery when they tried to do so in the ratification of the Constitution.
