Why does it piss you off??? If it pisses you off then it's clear you don't understand it's true meaning or what the Civil War was really about. It is an honorable symbol of American history that desreves reverence as a lot of Americans died for that flag just as a lot of Americans have died for the Stars and Stripes. . . Unfortunately, little understand it's purpose and have either mislead or misrepresented it over the decades.
