    Exactly. It means Southern pride and states rights, not racism. Many people believe that the Civil War was fought about slavery, which I believe is incorrect. But many think it means racism and slavery, because of the use of it by the KKK and other racist organizations.
    For example Southern Carolina flys the Confederate Flag. I don't see a problem with it, but many people do, either because they think it symbolizes racism and white supremacy, or because they know people will think it symbolizes that.
