Absolutely wild that the Confederate States of America was literally conquered and disbanded, and yet they were allowed to keep the flag.

That's not even the Confederate flag, is a specific battle flag of some shit battalion that obviously lost.

Yeah, I did know that. But tbh, most of the dipshits flying it don't even know that.

They can fly a dirty white dishcloth any time they want

It was the 1915, Hollywood movie 'Birth of Nation' that re-invented and restarted the whole southern states thing. One, of only a handful, of movies that year, almost the entire population of the U.S.A. watched it. This was when full length movies a medium was still new and influential.
