I see dozens a day around here. Funny part is this part of Tennessee during the war FOUGHT to Confederates!

When I ask about the flag, locals tell me it is about tradition. When I explain to them about the history, they tell me it can't be true. I have sent some locals to the cemeteries where it says "killed by a rebel" and "fought the rebels" on the headstones. Bet most never went.
