    Confederate flags are in canada and California, it’s just a flag for racists to roleplay with, the confederacy won’t rise again anywhere.

      It won’t “rise again” but the spirit of it absolutely has resurfaced in other forms, and will continue too so long as a significant number of people in this country identify with white supremacy and abject hatred.

      The original KKK were effectively the remnants of the Confederate army + new recruits. And it’s continued to find new banners in the generations since.

        It very much depends on what you mean when you say “the spirit of it,” which I think you have to admit, is open to a lot of interpretation.
