and why do you think that was the issue? Because the southern states didn't want the national government outlawing slavery. They wanted to be able decide the issue of slavery for themselves.

you keep missing my point. I'll not talking about what you think the rebel flag stands for. I'm talking about what other people (African Americans for example) think that flag stands for. And when they see it flying over government buildings, they get offended. Wrong or right, they still get offended. And I think a simular thing could happen with this movie.
