Any Southerner who flies this flag here in Arkansas gets a little lecture on history from me. This flag was used by the Army of Northern Virginia, and Arkansas troops west of the Mississippi never saw it. It was taken over as a symbol of the KKK during Reconstruction, and it is as that symbol that it is used today.
It isn't seen a lot around here. Even the Sons of Confederate memorial on the courthouse flies the Confederate Flag, not this racist rag.
