We have failed to teach what the current use of the CBF stands for correctly. We (Southerners) official recognize it's symbolism of the sacrifice made by not only Confederate Soldiers but ALL Southerners who served since that war to defend this Nation and the Constitution. This right to honor Southerners was won with the surrender to and acceptance of the peace and reconstruction into a new nation. It reminds us of all that we gave up for this country. This right was agreed to by the North in exchange for uniting with them in strengthening in this nation and for ever keeping us as one people.

Are they now ready to break that agreement as started by Abraham Lincoln?
