Robert E. Lee himself refused to wear his confederate uniform after the confederacy’s defeat in the American civil war. At his funeral he was not buried in it and no one in attendance was permitted to wear theirs either. He also declared that his confederate battle flag (what we now call “the confederate flag”) never be raised again and that it was a flag of treason.

So there’s your “southern heritage.”

Not Just Robert E Lee, which you can read here. 

but Also the President of the South, Jefferson Davis felt the same way. 

Basically, “Get the fuck over it.” We lost, we’re a part of this country, this flag signifies an old identity. Cut that shit out and move on. 

Ding! Ding! Ding!

This is why I want to smash the pickup window of every goddamn Yankee up here who displays the fucking thing.

(My family came to VA in 1610.  I’m the first in many generations to leave VA.  Those who had the right to fly the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia said that no-one should be flying it.  So that’s done)
