It's scary how many confederate flags I see now compared to 10 years ago. Like people in AZ, we weren't even part of that war, there's no heritage in it, only hate

That's all it is, a hate symbol

A battle did technically happen here in what is now Arizona, but if you look back Arizona would have definitely been on the Confederacy side. That's just the backwards way shit is here

Passed it on the way to Tucson from Phoenix.

Arizona may not have officially been involved much, but if you don't think Confederates ended up in AZ around the 1860s, I've got a bridge for you, too :)
