The flag you depict does not represent or advocate slavery. Rather, when folks display it now, it indicates that someone is proud of being from The South. You've shown your idiocy once again.The white conservative voters who live there would disagree.The photos below are not from 2 centuries ago

You've shown your idiocy once again.
State's rights.
to secede
Colonel Ty Seidule, Professor of History at the United States Military Academy at West Point
So they turned traitors to The US for the right to to secede? You are a fucking moron.
The Civil War was about states' rights to secede. It was not about slavery in the confederate states. Rather, the confederate states objected to the stoppage of the expansion of slavery in new territories and thus seceded. Lincoln maintained that the the confederate states did not have the right to secede since the citizens of those states would be disenfranchised of their citizenship in The United States. Thus, a war over states' right to secede ensued. This is Civil War 101 and PhonySnark has no clue what he is talking about.
The right to secede wasn't in the Confederacy Constitution...but the right to slavery was.
