Wasn't he a drunk? It would seem now all history scholars say this about everyone that doesn't have someone to defend them.
Seriously, most pontificators believe most people wave their confederate flags in some sort of "WHITE POWER" fashion. Sure, some people put out the confederate flag to display their racism, but for the most part I've found it's not true. The people who display them that I've talked to say they wave it just because it means "TO BE A REBEL." What they're rebelling against I don't know, and the majority of these people originally come from the south and are over 40 years old.
I was going to say that all of them are racists in secret in one form or another, but then again, I'm yet to find one example of someone who isn't, no matter the ethnicity.
