It is fascinating when you delve into history and find out things like the Nazi symbol is actually an ancient symbol that held religious symbolism from ancient times, as far back as 2000-3000 BC. You find out that the confederate flag was adopted by the Confederate States of America. The new Constitution they created had a focus on individual State rights for the eleven States that seceeded from the USA and that the issue of slavery was pivotal, but not for ethnic reasons, but for economic reasons. This schism had been burgeoning since the early 1800's and had started for financial reasons as well as principals of State Rights that nearly forced seccesion in 1828 with the Tariff of 1828. While the eventual call for succession included slavery as a key component, this issue had been simmering for nearly half a century and focused on primarily monetary reasons. In fact, the State of South Carolina had threatened seccesion over these tariffs in response to the tariffs of 1828 because it hampered economic prosperity primarily in the Southern agricultural States to advantage the Northern industrial States. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Tariff-of-1828. The tariffs were amended and reduced in 1832, however some States voted to nullify federal tariffs in their own State. The entire issue of the Civil War is extremely complex and multi-faceted and included far more than the singular issue of slavery. In the end, the issue of slavery was the death knell of the CSA and rightfully so. The very concept of slavery is an abomination and should have never been allowed in the first place, but not just in the New World, but in all time and in every place. The fact that slavery still exists in the world today is beyond imagination and proves that the issue is not being given the attention that it deserves, instead resources are poured into where it is no longer legal for reasons other than humanitarian, but rather political.
