Alert[edit | edit source]
Mississippi to vote on striping the Confederate flag emblem from the state flag.
The motives are:
- Some hate the Confederacy for challenging the unity of America.
- Some hate it because it is White supremacist, as was the Confederacy.
- Some hate it because the Confederates were slave owners.
- Many hate it because it is connected to a sinister Confederate past and the American Civil War, both of which they wish to forget.
Update[edit | edit source]
They did vote for its removal on 29\06\2020.
