claimed that he doesn't believe in slavery, even though he thought the South was right. Also Craig Gagnon wanted to put up a so-called "compromise" flag from the Confederacy that hasn't become associated with racism, but that's impossible. I might be wrong, but wasn't one of the main reasons why Confederates fought against the North to maintain slavery and to break off from the rest of the country? Their movement was virtually all about racism, along with treason. If they really want to put up a new and less controversial flag, why not go for one that has more of a unifying symbol instead of one that has a hostile history towards a certain group of people? A state flag is supposed to unite and represent all of the residents.
