As Thomas Jefferson said in his famous tree of liberty letter talking of Shay's Rebellion
"Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of rebellion so honorably conducted? I say nothing of it's motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independent 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century & a half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. "
Just a few years ago it was just a flag of rebellion. I remember seeing black folks IRL used to fly it, used to have stickers on their trucks, etc
If you think there is an issue with this flag, congrats, you've fallen for more anti-American propaganda.
And make no mistake, it is an American flag, even if it was from a country that tried to secede. Because rebellion is American.
