The Stars and Bars, the Rebel Flag, represents different things to different people. As for what it represents, in an accurate historical sense, almost nothing about the history of this country is dealt with in an honset, scholarly way. We basically assign meanings to historical events and symbols based on what our current political beliefs are. The past is rewritten on a regular basis, to suit our short-term purposes.
