Revival and Controversy (Confederate Flag)
I believe this article has some well provided facts as well as remaining bias towards the subject. How ever, I believe there is an error where they say that the Confederate flag “honored battlefield comradery rather than Southern nationalism.” The confederate flag was created in the civil war, which started out because of Northern nationalism and southern nationalism. The whole reason they fought was because of what they believed was right there for their culture in a sense. The flag represents battlefield comradely, yes but it also represents the specific culture of the south in that time. I also find an error where their biasness becomes kind of shaky when they say “Margaret Mitchell's novel, Gone with the Wind, led to a brief but intense period of nostalgia for the Old South during which the Confederate flag appeared widely.” I specifically have a problem with the word “nostalgia” because it can suggest that the period of time back then was something we long for which can in turn suggest that the author supports the flag which is not bias at all.
