I'll never understand an affinity for the rebel flag.
Even if you take slavery out of it, it's the banner for the losing side of a treasonous sect.

One could say the US flag is the same......except that we actually won.  So our treason became patriotism.  Sorry, but when you lose, it's still just treason and embarrassing.

You're right, it was cool to secede and begin a war.
Not treasonous at all. 
I was wrong...because....youtube clip.

Well part of it is that it is a pretty cool design for a flag. 

If instead they'd used a Rainbow Flag, then I doubt that there'd be too many people taking pride in it.

They would if Robert E. Lee fought under it.  I meant, southern pride OR tradition OR heritage 'n shit.

The one that they use isn't even the actual CSA Flag, because the actual CSA Flag was kind of lame.

Case and point, Georgia had to change their's a while back because of all the blow back from having the Rebel Flag on it, but now they essentially get away with using the actual CSA flag, because it is just so unrecognizable.

Completely flies under the radar.

Secession was very arguably not treasonous but a state right under the Ninth Amendment.  The war only started when the "South" fired on Fort Sumpter.  SC had seceded months before that.  Lincoln COULD have withdrawn Federal troops ahead of that and let the South leave.  That would have been a bad result, but so was the war.

Years back I watched PBS-Ken Burns "The Civil War" documentary. Some SC representative said "South Carolina is too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum"

In my fictional books, I tried to explore a bit what would have happened had the South prevailed, aside from the obvious.  Basically it was a mess in my mind, three separate countries in effect (nationally) with a fourth trying to secede.

The Confederacy, "Franklin" in the mountainous areas, the northeast, and the midwest.

That would have been sweet.

It got messy.  I'm considering a Book 5 where the South decides to take on Mexico or Cuba.

thoughts on Cristobal to Miami? Not sure he's even a good coach, and not sure he's the right guy to turn that program around.

Certainly not as much confidence as Miami has shown. But he's a good recruiter - could see it work, I guess.
