    3. Pat, I don't think that there is anyone on this list who would support slavery. There were many issues that brought on the Civil War,and slavery was just one of the issues...the South and her people have been villified and shamed into thinking that they aren't supposed to have any pride in their heritage....if we were to tear down all the flags that have supported slavery in history and present time, there wouldn't be many flags left. My ancestors fought for both North and South,mostly the South....and I think that since the war ended a long time ago, it is important to honor the dead of both sides and move forward,in peace...dissention and arguing only tears people and countries apart...as we know! Regards, Sandra Ellington-Freeman
