A lot of people have no idea what that flag actually stands for. People see that flag and immediately go "THAT STANDS FOR SLAVERY!" or here in MN guys with big lifted trucks think it stands for being a redneck.

What people don't realize is that it really represents states' rights. Now, granted the major state right that they were fighting for was the right to own slaves... But at its core, its the same debate we have today. How much power should a centralized government have vs. individual states.
