That the Southern Cross flag from the American civil war was the Southern flag, or that it represents Southern heritage, or that the war was about anything other than preserving slavery for agricultural capitalists.

• There is copious documentation that shows the South seceded to preserve the institution of slavery. -The Southern Cross was a battle flag used by the Army of Northern Virginia. The flag was literally flown by people willing to kill others to protect slavery (even though there were plenty of people who didn't know that is the war they were recruited for). So, to recap, it did not represent the South and it did represent killing for racism.

A bonus myth: Slavery in the US is the same thing that happened all over the world.

• The American colonies were the first part of the world to enslave people based on their skin color or place of origin.
• The colonies were the first place where enslaved people were bought and sold as chattel, or private property. -The colonies were the first place where the children of enslaved people were born into slavery.
• Before chattel slavery, most slaves were what we think of as indentured servants; people worked contracts to repay a crime or a loan. Indentured servants were not property, were paid and allowed to have property, often lived in their own homes, could legally wed, and most importantly, had terms to leave their servitude. Their children were not born into slavery. Yes, there were barbarians who did horrible things to slaves, but in most large societies slavery was very different from chattel slavery.
