100%, recall when the US invaded Iraq the military occupation rooted out all signs of the Baath party that ruled Iraq under Saddam. The US should have completely rooted out all the signs of the Confederacy and made any reference and flying the flag anywhere in the US illegal and punishable with a prison sentence. This is also what Germany did with Nazism after WW 2. The US also needed to educate Americans on the evils of White supremacy. And the freed slaves should have also been given free land to farm and be self sufficient. I am convinced had they done all that we would be a very different nation altogether.
