15. Shut up CSV - as stewards of the battle flag you took forever to denounce its use by the Klan

I have been able to find two resolutions from CSV state chapters that denounce the use of the battle flag either specifically by the KKK or "political extremist groups". One was by the Tennessee chapter (no date on the PDF) and one by the Arkansas chapter in 2009. 2009.

The Virginia chapter BARELY survived a take over by openly racist Neo-Confederates about 10 years ago if memory serves. I am not making a direct connection across all of the CSV but their silence on the use of the battle flag in Klan marches was deafening.
