I find it interesting that the CSA copied the Electoral College system from the US Constitution. I was under the impression that the US Constitution had the EC as a way to maintain slavery against abolitionists from the North. That wouldn't have been a concern for the CSA, whose member states were all pro-slavery.

That flag was always a symbol of treason and oppression.

But now it just means "hate."
